Making his first public appearance since being removed as ODI skipper, Rohit Sharma attended the CEAT Cricket Rating Awards in Mumbai. He reflected on the journey that took India from heartbreak in the 2023 ODI World Cup final to clinching two ICC trophies. Rohit credited the ethos instilled during the Rahul Dravid era, emphasizing team unity, persistence, and process over individual glory.
Acknowledging the change in his role, he remained measured: “I love that team, loved playing with them … it was about getting into work from many years.” The veteran maintains his place in the squad and has pledged to support Gill and the side in any capacity.
