Highlighting his ultimate goal, Rohit emphasized his desire to clinch a World Cup title with the Indian team.
“I really want to win the World Cup and there is a WTC final in 2025, hopefully India makes it,” he remarked, underscoring his commitment to achieving significant milestones in international cricket.
Reflecting on India’s journey to the 2023 ODI World Cup final last year, Rohit acknowledged the disappointment of falling short against Australia despite an impressive campaign. He credited Australia for their superior performance in the final but emphasized that India did not play poorly.
“The 50-over World Cup for me is the actual World Cup. We’ve grown up watching that World Cup. More importantly, it was happening in India in front of our home crowd. We played so well up until that final. When we won the semi-finals, I thought, now we’re just a step away. We’re doing all the things right,” he recalled, highlighting the team’s confidence and momentum leading up to the final showdown.
After the IPL, Rohit will gear up for the upcoming T20 World Cup in June, where he will lead the Indian team.
