Rohit has led India to their third consecutive ICC final in nearly 13 months. Previous attempts saw India fall short against Australia in the World Test Championship and ODI World Cup finals. During this tournament, India has remained unbeaten, showcasing remarkable resilience and skill under Sharma’s leadership.
The final on Saturday offers India a chance to end their 11-year-long ICC title drought, with their last victory coming in the 2013 Champions Trophy. Rohit aims to join MS Dhoni as the second Indian captain to lift the T20 World Cup trophy.
