World Cup finals without losing a single match. The scene is not new to Rohit Sharma. In the 2023 ODI World Cup at home, India made it to the finals regardless of their opponents in all matches. But under the leadership of Rohit, the team lost to Australia in the final.
After that loss to the Aussies, Rohit had to spend a tough time. India reached the final under his leadership in the T20 World Cup. Their opponent is South Africa today at 8:30 PM Bangladesh time on Saturday. Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly believes that India will not lose this match.
He said, ‘I don’t think Rohit Sharma will lose the final for the second time in six months. If he loses, he may jump into the sea in Barbados. This time too he has batted well and led the team well. I am very happy to see the improvement of the Indian team under his captaincy.’
“It takes a bit of luck to win big competitions, I want them to have that luck. India played brilliantly in the ODI World Cup, were unbeaten, only one bad day shattered India’s dream.’
Ganguly was the BCCI president when Rohit Sharma was made captain in all three formats. He chose Rohit as Virat Kohli’s successor. Rohit has now made the team undefeated in two consecutive World Cup finals. Saurabh is happy to see his success.
He said, ‘I am very happy for Rohit Sharma. The wheel of life does not take time to turn. Only 6 months ago this Rohit Sharma did not even captain Mumbai Indians, he is the same Rohit who has now led India to the T20 World Cup final without losing a single match.
“It is not an easy task to take a team to the finals of two ICC competitions unbeaten. When Virat left the captaincy, I was the board president. Rohit did not want to take the captaincy at first. He was persuaded a lot.’
