India Team Arrival: The Indian cricket team landed at Delhi airport on Thursday with the World Cup trophy. Captain Rohit Sharma, who leads from the front on the field, was leading his team here as well. There was a big difference between Rohit Sharma’s style in the field and the airport. This time Rohit Sharma was walking with the World Cup trophy in one hand. The joy of victory was overflowing. Pride was swelling in his chest. The interesting thing is that 17 years ago also the Indian team had landed at Mumbai airport in the same style. There was only one thing common between the 2007 champion team and the current team. Rohit Sharma was in that team and he is in this team as well.
When India won the T20 World Cup for the first time in 2007, Rohit Sharma was the youngest member of the champion team. India won the title by defeating Pakistan in the final. MS Dhoni became the first captain to win the T20 World Cup for India. Time passed. The players of the 2007 champion team retired one by one, but Rohit Sharma continued his game. Today he is the oldest member of Team India. Age does not dominate the game of this player who leads the team from the front. Hitman is still India’s most explosive player.
Hitman Rohit Sharma was the highest run scorer for India in the T20 World Cup 2024 played in West Indies-USA. Apart from the final, Rohit played brilliantly in most of the matches. Against Australia, Rohit played as if everyone would be satisfied only after destroying them. He played an innings of 92 runs in 41 balls, which is the highest innings of any Indian captain in the World Cup.
