Here’s what Rohit Sharma said at the felicitation ceremony
During the ceremony at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday, Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Indian cricket team, presented the T20 World Cup 2024 trophy to the entire nation.
“This trophy is for the entire nation. Along with all the players who have represented the country, we want to dedicate it to our fans, who have waited for 11 years,” said Rohit.
“I was standing at long on and Surya was at long off. Hardik was bowling the final over. Hats off to him. How much ever runs you have, there is too much pressure.The wind was blowing across and we wanted to keep it away from Miller. When it went up in the air, I thought it would go over. I am glad that it didn’t carry out of the ground. For Surya to take the catch was exceptional. He has practiced that a lot. To take that catch at the boundary line is a great effort,” He added.
The Indian skipper also thanked the fans for their appreciation throughout the tournament. “Mumbai never disappoints. We got a solid reception. On behalf of the team, we would like to thank the fans. I am very very happy and relieved.” Sharma concluded.
