Sunil Gavaskar, a prominent figure in cricket, lavished praise on Rohit Sharma following India’s victory in the T20 World Cup. Rohit’s leadership catapulted India to success, making him only the third Indian captain, after Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni, to achieve such a feat.
Throughout the tournament, Rohit demonstrated his batting prowess, accumulating 257 runs in eight matches at an impressive average of 36.71. Despite Virat Kohli being named ‘Player of the Match’ in the final, Jasprit Bumrah’s exceptional bowling earned him the ‘Player of the Tournament’ accolade.
