India's T20 World Cup-winning captain Rohit Sharma shared an emotional post on social media after leading his team to victory against South Africa in the final. On June 29, after India's triumph, Rohit expressed his overwhelming emotions, saying he couldn't find the right words to describe the experience.
In his Twitter post, Rohit wrote:
"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."
He also shared a photograph capturing his moment of reflection and joy.
During the post-match press conference, Rohit elaborated on his emotions after the win. He mentioned that winning the T20 World Cup felt like a fitting end to his T20I career, as he had started his career with a World Cup victory. Rohit praised head coach Rahul Dravid, stating that Dravid deserved to win the title the most.
The victory was a significant milestone and a fitting farewell for both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who announced their retirement from T20 Internationals after the win. Rohit led the team with distinction throughout the tournament, while Kohli delivered crucial performances, including a pivotal 76 off 59 balls in the final.
Their leadership and performances inspired India to end an 11-year-long ICC trophy drought and secure a memorable World Cup victory in Barbados.
