Mumbai, December 23: Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma has looked back at India’s maiden ICC T20 World Cup victory in 2007, recalling the confidence and belief that defined the young squad’s historic campaign in South Africa. Rohit said the team felt that the success achieved in the inaugural edition of the tournament would mark the beginning of a sustained winning phase for Indian cricket.
Speaking about the landmark triumph, Rohit noted that the squad, filled with young and relatively inexperienced players at the international level, played fearless cricket throughout the competition. He highlighted that the absence of senior players allowed the group to express themselves freely, which ultimately played a crucial role in India lifting the trophy under the leadership of MS Dhoni. According to Rohit, the team entered every match with the mindset of enjoying the game rather than worrying about outcomes.
Rohit further stated that the thrilling final against Pakistan remains one of the most memorable moments of his career. He said the dramatic finish not only showcased the team’s resilience but also strengthened the belief that Indian cricket was entering a new era. The victory, he added, gave the players immense confidence and made them feel that they would continue their winning ways in the years to come.
