I was scared, but Surya did a great job
Referring to the last over in the T20 World Cup final, Rohit said, “In the last over, I was standing at long on, Suryakumar was at long off, Hardik was bowling the most important over for us. As soon as Miller played the shot, I got scared, but as soon as Surya caught the catch, I understood that the match was ours, because from where I was standing, I could see that this catch was clean and Miller was out.”
I am very happy to win the trophy- Rohit Sharma
Rohit finally said, I am very happy to win the trophy. Winning every match of the World Cup was very important for me. In the first World Cup, we told the world that we can win the World Cup, after that we won the World Cup again, which was very important. After that, winning the Champions Trophy was also special. This shows that the fans wanted the victory more than the players. This is a special team and I am lucky that I am leading it and could fulfill the dream of every Indian.
