Rohit Sharma issues an official statement for the 1st time after T20 World Cup win with an emotional Instagram post

The Indian cricket team captain, Rohit Sharma, has finally opened up about his emotions and how he feels after winning the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. India defeated South Africa by seven runs in the T20 World Cup 2024 final in Barbados to clinch their second title after 17 years on June 29.

It was Team India’s fourth ICC title, and it took 11 years for them to have a victory dance. However, under Rohit’s captaincy, India reached the T20 World Cup final in 2022, the finals of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC), and the ODI World Cup in 2023, but they couldn’t cross the final hurdle.

However, their determination and hard work put in over the last three years, as said by the Indian skipper, finally paid off on Caribbean soil, where they hoisted the Indian flag after winning the T20 World Cup 2024. Rohit’s resilience and leadership were key to India’s historic success.

As India secured a historic T20 World Cup victory at the Kensington Oval, Rohit’s emotions were intense. The Indian captain was overwhelmed, tears streaming down his face, as he fell to his knees in pure jubilation and laid down on the ground on his chest. This moment was the result of Rohit and his team’s years of dedication, hard work, and resilience.

This day was not just about the win but also for the emotional moment as Rohit and his long-time teammate, Virat Kohli, announced their retirement from T20 international cricket. The decision, though expected, was laden with emotion.

The T20 World Cup 2024 victory was the perfect moment for the duo to bid farewell to the shorter format of the game on a high note. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma took to social media to share his feelings, posting an emotional picture of himself lying on the field at Kensington Oval after India’s T20 World Cup 2024 final win over South Africa.

The victory was not just a personal achievement for Rohit, but a collective celebration for a billion fans, and the senior opener acknowledged the depth of his feelings and the significance of the occasion.

Rohit said that he has a lot to say, which he will share with the fans soon, but presently he is just basking in a dream come true for him and billions of Indian fans. Notably, the right-handed batter also contributed with the bat in India's title win, scoring 257 runs across 8 innings in the tournament.

Sharing the moving picture on X, Rohit Sharma wrote in the caption: “This picture epitomises how I’m feeling right now. So many words but can’t find the right ones to express what yesterday meant to me but I will, and I will share them, but right now I’m basking in a dream come true for a billion of us.”
