Rohit Sharma opens up about Mumbai Indians’ journey and challenges ahead of the GT vs MI clash. Watch his latest interview that’s taking the internet by storm!
New Delhi: Rohit Sharma‘s captaincy of the Indian cricket team yielded consecutive ICC tournament victories. India’s recent record in ICC limited-overs competitions shows exceptional success, with only one loss in 24 matches over the past three tournaments; that defeat occurred against Australia in the 2023 ODI World Cup final.
India achieved victory in the 2024 T20 World Cup, hosted jointly by the West Indies and the USA, winning all eight of their matches. This winning streak continued in the Champions Trophy, where Rohit Sharma’s team secured five consecutive victories at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
Rohit Sharma‘s Champions Trophy win makes him only the second Indian captain to achieve multiple ICC tournament victories, joining MS Dhoni, Sourav Ganguly, and Kapil Dev in this exclusive group.
Reflecting on India’s 2022 World Cup semi-final loss in Australia, Rohit Sharma explained that the team used the experience to set clear expectations and playing styles for future matches. He emphasized the importance of open communication with players regarding their roles and performance goals.
Rohit explained that the team’s success stemmed from a focus on playing freely and fearlessly. Despite experiencing some setbacks, including losing several series, they maintained their positive approach and avoided panic.
‘Worth celebrating’
Rohit Sharma expressed his delight at India’s ICC tournament victory, acknowledging that while a perfect 24-0 record would have been ideal, a single loss was acceptable given the challenges overcome.
Team selection begins with identifying weaknesses from past performances and addressing them. The team’s recent record in major ICC tournaments is exceptionally strong, with only one loss, which occurred in a final.
