'I’m basking in a dream come true' - Rohit Sharma posts wholesome picture following T20 World Cup win

Star India skipper Rohit Sharma led his side to a title win in the T20 World Cup 2024. Staying unbeaten throughout the tournament, India dominated the competition completely and finished it as the winners, winning their first ICC title since 2013.

After the game, Rohit Sharma also announced that he would be retiring from T20I cricket with immediate effect, stating how proud he was of his journey, leaving the fans emotional. 

Furthermore, Rohit also took to Instagram to post a picture of himself lying down on the ground with a huge smile on his face after the title win. “This picture epitomises how I’m feeling right now. So many words, but I 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,” Rohit captioned the post.

Hard to sum up what we've been through: Rohit Sharma

The Indian team defeated South Africa in the T20 World Cup final to win the title. At one point, the game looked to be in the favour of the Proteas, with Heinrich Klaasen’s onslaught. However, a tactical masterclass by Rohit and co., along with exceptional bowling, saw India clinch the game by seven runs and win the tournament. 

After the game, Rohit Sharma took to the post-match presentation ceremony and expressed his thoughts about what his side has been through the last few years. After losing several finals, the Men in Blue have finally reached the summit and registered themselves as world champions.

“Hard to sum up what we've been through in last three-four years. A lot behind the scenes, not what we did today, it's what we did before. A lot of high-pressure games, and we've been on the wrong side of it. Guys understand when the pressure is on what needs to be done, today was perfect example, stuck together with backs to the wall,” Rohit said.
