After leading Team India to a historic T20 World Cup 2024 triumph, skipper Rohit Sharma has embarked on a well-deserved vacation with his family in London. The victory marked an end to India's 11-year ICC title drought, with the team defeating South Africa by seven runs in a thrilling summit clash.
Following the triumph, Rohit, along with star batter Virat Kohli and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, announced their retirements from T20 cricket. The India skipper is now enjoying his time off in London, where he was spotted attending the Wimbledon men's singles semi-final match between Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev.
Rohit's presence at Wimbledon was met with admiration and excitement. The official Wimbledon Twitter account welcomed him, while cricket fans shared images of the World Cup-winning captain soaking up the atmosphere.
Meanwhile, former India cricketer and National Cricket Academy (NCA) chief VVS Laxman expressed his belief that Rohit, Kohli, and Jadeja will continue to make significant contributions to Indian cricket in the longer formats.
"I'm sure that they will continue to prepare the way they did so far in their career and continue to bring laurels to the country," Laxman said. "So big congratulations for excellent T20I career, but I'm sure that they're going to contribute in the longer version of the game and the 50-year format of the game."
Rohit's vacation in London is a testament to the team's hard work and dedication that led to their T20 World Cup victory. The skipper's presence at Wimbledon further highlights the growing popularity of cricket and its global reach.
