As Rohit Sharma is leading the Ninth ICC Men’s T20 World cup, Indian captain and opener Rohit Sharma talked about his aim to leave a mark for the younger generation. Rohit is only one of two players who play all editions of the T20 world cup.
“It is quite exciting to playing another T20 world cup ” Rohit Sharma told to the ICC recently.
” I never thought about it, honestly speaking , But it is nice having played all the T20 World cups. And I have enjoyed every bit of it. When you come to ICC tournaments, it’s always exciting , and it brings a lot of new challenges.”
Rohit Sharma started his T20 world cup journey in 2007 and scored half-century in his first-ever innings to win the player of the Match award in a crunch game against South Africa.
“I think the first thing that comes to my mind is the bowl-out that we had against Pakistan” Rohit said. “But that’s also a lot to do with how the players have each country and the players have evolved with the game and taken it to the next level “
The first thing that come to his mind from the tournament was the bowl-out against Pakistan in 2007,the 37-year-old Rohit Sharma told.
” So it was quite exciting for us to have a crack at it and come out on top eventually. And I still remember that after our normal training, we use to train for bowl-outs, which was quite exciting. Everyone used to participate in that bowl-out.”
Honestly speaking, when it started, we had no clue about how it’s going to make a mark on world cricket. Now that we sit back after playing the first inaugural world cup, which was in 2007,and now we are in 2024, 17 years have passed by.
