Rohit Sharma Vows to Continue Winning Trophies for India

India's T20 World Cup-winning captain Rohit Sharma has expressed his unwavering determination to continue winning major trophies for his country. Speaking at the CEAT Cricket Awards, Rohit emphasized the team's commitment to pushing themselves and striving for excellence.

"There is a reason I won five IPL trophies. I am not going to stop, because once you get the taste of winning games, and winning Cups, you do not want to stop and we will keep pushing as a team. We will keep striving for better things in the future," Rohit declared.

Rohit acknowledged the team's upcoming challenges, including the tour to Australia, the ICC Champions Trophy, and the ICC World Test Championship final. He expressed confidence in the team's ability to overcome these obstacles.

"We have got a couple of solid tours coming up, very challenging ones as well. For us, it never stops. Once you achieve something you always look forward to achieving more. That is what I will be doing. I am pretty sure my teammates will be thinking on the same line," he said.

Rohit attributed his success as captain to the support of his "three pillars": former head coach Rahul Dravid, BCCI secretary Jay Shah, and chief selector Ajit Agarkar. He emphasized the importance of creating an environment where players can play freely without excessive focus on statistics and milestones.

"It was my dream to transform this team and not worry too much about the stats, the results, to make sure that we create that environment where people can go out there and play freely without thinking too much. That is what was required. I got a lot of help from my three pillars, who are Mr Jay Shah, Mr Rahul Dravid (and the) chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar," Rohit said.

The Indian skipper also praised the contributions of his players, particularly Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, and Jasprit Bumrah, who played pivotal roles in the T20 World Cup victory. He thanked the nation for celebrating the team's triumph.
