Spinner Kuldeep Yadav dedicates the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 trophy to captain Rohit Sharma. Rohit retired from T20 international cricket after India won the major tournament.

The Indian cricket team won the T20 World Cup after a span of 17 years. Under the valiant direction of Rohit Sharma, India captured their second-ever T20 World title, remaining undefeated throughout the competition. Rohit Sharma is largely to blame for the aggressive cricketing style of the Indian side, as he motivated the players to play with conviction.

Kuldeep had a fantastic T20 World Cup on his own. He took 10 significant wickets in just 5 matches. “This World Cup was for him, the way he planned and the way he loved this team. The intent and approach that he used to talk about in team meetings, he implemented that in the tournament while batting, led from the front. So this trophy is for him,” Kuldeep told Sports Today.

Kuldeep gave a heartfelt tribute to Ravindra Jadeja and Virat Kohli in addition to Rohit. “In the final Virat bhai hit the 70-odd runs, won the player of the match. I am sure he will be very happy with his career in the T20 format, same for Rohit bhai. Jadeja as well, he played such brilliant cricket over the years,” he added.
