Rohit Sharma celebrates T20 World Cup win anniversary, enjoys vacation with family – See photos

Former India Test captain and current ODI skipper Rohit Sharma, who recently retired from red-ball cricket at the age of 38, was seen vacationing with his family in Europe. Rohit has been seen sharing photos of his family regularly in the past couple of day.Rohit, now focused solely on One-Day Internationals, next cricketing assignment is scheduled for August, when India tours Bangladesh for a three-match ODI series starting on August 17.A year ago it was under Rohit Sharma's captaincy that India ended their 13 year long wait to win an ICC Trophy.“Barbados will forever be in my veins. This is the proudest moment of my cricketing career. To lift that trophy, to be crowned ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 Champions—it was surreal. I played in the inaugural 2007 T20 World Cup and we won under MS Dhoni’s captaincy. And now, to win it again with Rahul Dravid as head coach—it meant everything to this group.“We’ve seen heartbreak. We’ve come so close. That’s why this one was so special. We worked and planned relentlessly—every day. And when we finally won, all the emotions came pouring out. The younger players, especially those playing their first World Cup, realised how hard it is to win one. Nothing can be taken for granted. It was magical,” said Rohit to JioHotstar.What was going through his mind before taking the field for the final, which also became his last game for India in T20Is after the championship glory was achieved? Rohit admitted that he didn’t sleep well in the night before the final and nervous energy led to him waking up much earlier than expected.“Thirteen years is a long time. Most people don’t even have a 13-year career. So, to wait that long to win a World Cup… the last one I won was in 2007. For me, it couldn't have gotten any bigger than this. I didn’t sleep the whole night. I was only thinking about the World Cup. I was nervous. I couldn’t feel my legs. Did I feel nerves? Of course.“I just don’t show it—but inside, it was a lot. We were supposed to leave around 8:30 or 9 in the morning. But I woke up at 7. From my room, I could see the ground and just kept watching it. I remember thinking—‘In two hours, I’ll be there. And in four hours, the result will be out. Either the Cup will be here or it won’t."
