Rohit Sharma’s legacy from 2007 to 2024
Rohit reminisced about the 2007 win, describing it as a “different feeling.” But the 2024 triumph, achieved under his leadership, held deeper emotional significance. The evening victory felt distinct from the afternoon win of 2007.
Rohit acknowledged that winning the T20 World Cup meant not only a lot to the team but also to the entire nation. The joy of bringing smiles to millions of fans made this victory exceptionally special.
“2007 was a different feeling, we started off in the afternoon and this is in the evening. I cannot forget 2007 as it was my first World Cup. This is a little more special because I was leading the team so it’s a very proud moment for me. This is going to be mad. You can make out the excitement and it shows how much it means not just to us but also to the entire nation. It means a lot. So, I am very happy that we could achieve something like this for them as well,” said Rohit in a video released by BCCI.
