WATCH: Rohit Sharma dances with ICC chairman Jay Shah after Champions Trophy final, video goes viral!

New Delhi: India secured a victory against New Zealand by four wickets in the final, clinching the ICC Champions Trophy. This triumph marked the end of India’s extended pursuit of the ICC 50-over title. Following a disappointing loss to Australia in the ODI World Cup 2023 final, India avenged that defeat by overcoming Australia in the Champions Trophy semifinal.
The victory delighted both Indian cricket fans and players. Indian captain Rohit Sharma was extremely happy following the win and attempted to persuade ICC Chairman Jay Shah to join him in dancing. Although Shah was reluctant to participate, Rohit embraced his playful side and danced alongside the ICC chairman. The footage of this moment quickly gained popularity on social media.
Rohit faced significant pressure before the Champions Trophy due to India’s disappointing results against New Zealand and Australia in Test matches. However, the shift in format allowed him to excel. The Indian captain consistently performed well during the tournament, providing strong starts for the team in each match. His standout performance came in the final, where he scored an impressive 76 runs, helping India secure victory.
Rohit Sharma addressed the rumors surrounding his potential retirement following the ICC Champions Trophy, clarifying his intentions. He stated, “I am not going to retire from this format. Just to ensure that no rumors circulate in the future, there are no future plans; whatever is happening will continue as it is.”
