When it comes to capturing the ICC silverware for India, Rohit Sharma is so close, yet so far. It began with a 2022 T20 World Cup semifinal loss, followed by defeats to Australia in the World Test Championship and 2023 World Cup finals. The captain of India has now taken another stab at the glory that had escaped him thus far. After leading India to the T20 World Cup 2024 Final, Nasser Hussain, a former captain of England, has placed a high expectation on Rohit to perform well.
The Indian opener is renowned for his easygoing demeanour and lightening the mood in the dressing room. It has benefited him throughout his time as the Mumbai Indians’ captain in the Indian Premier League, and the cricketer has carried it over into the Indian locker room. Hussain noted that Rohit may be a mentor to the younger members of the squad and has a strict mentality concealed under a gentle demeanour.
For a very long time, I have admired Rohit as a hitter, a captain, and a person. He appears to have a really soothing presence. On the other hand, there were other captains—perhaps Virat, for example—who were really impassioned and seemed to wear their hearts on their sleeves. Like that iron fist in a silk glove, Rohit is. Hussain stated on Star Sports, “You do not mess around with Rohit, but he is also a big brother who will put his arm around you and look after you.”
In 2024, Rohit Sharma will return to the T20 World Cup.
The T20 World Cup 2024 opener for India saw a remarkable turnaround following a string of poor performances. In his comeback innings, he amassed 92 runs off of 41 deliveries against Australia, helping India register their first 200+ run total. In the semifinal match against England, he carried on his form and saved India from an early loss by hitting 57 off 39 deliveries.
