Rohit Sharma immediate focus is on the T20 World Cup, which is set to take place in the West Indies and the USA in June. Rohit Sharma is currently playing for the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the present IPL 2024.
The 37-year-old is committed to ending the Men in Blue’s lengthy wait for an ICC title while serving as captain. Rohit Sharma is optimistic that India would eventually win the coveted T20 trophy, despite the fact that they came near to winning the WTC Final and the 2023 ODI World Cup. In addition, Rohit gave thought to his remarkable career abroad, which he affectionately refers to as “the Hitman,” having started at an early age.

The Nagpur native also talked on the honour of being his country’s leader, something he had never considered before in his professional life. His greatest honour and accomplishment to far, he said, has been being given the chance to captain the national team in a nation where sports are seen differently.
“Being a captain of your country is the greatest honour one can have, and I never imagined that the day would come when I would be serving as one.” However, he said, “people do claim that wonderful things happen to good people.
Upon being named captain, the Mumbai player also shared his vision for Indian cricket.
“As soon as I assumed the role of India Captain, I simply wanted all 11 players to go in the same direction because that’s how team sports should be played. It’s not about individual accomplishments, personal records, or objectives; rather, it’s about what we can all bring to the table and win the trophy,” Rohit continued.
“I have seen more downs than ups in my life, and the human and person I am today is because of what I have seen in the past, and in the downs,” he said, reflecting on the difficulties encountered in both life and on the pitch.
