Rohit Sharma spends time on the beach in Barbados with T20 World Cup trophy
The day after India won the 2024 T20 World Cup under Rohit Sharma's leadership, the skipper spent some time on the beach in Barbados for an official photoshoot with the winners' trophy.
India defeated South Africa by seven runs in a thrilling final at the Kensington Oval on June 29 to register their second triumph in the history of the tournament after 17 years. India had won the inaugural edition of the event in 2007 under the leadership of MS Dhoni.
WISH TEAM INDIA
Rohit posed with the trophy on the beach on Sunday, and BCCI shared the images on social medial.
"A billion dreams, a billion emotions, and a billion smiles! Mission accomplished. World Cup conquered. We are World Champions. Hey, Captain! You've done it," BCCI captioned its post on microblogging online platform 'X'.
Batting first in the final on Saturday, India rode on Virat Kohli's 76 and Axar Patel's 47-run knock to put up a challenging 176 for 7 on the board.
In run-chase, Heinrich Klaasen (52) and Quinton de Kock (39) drove South Africa into a comfortable position, neding a run a ball with wickets in hand, before Hardik Pandya (3/20), Jasprit Bumrah (2/18) and Arshdeep Singh (2/20) brought India back.
Thanks to timely strikes by Pandya and Bumrah, accompanied by Suryakumar Yadav's 'superman' catch on the boundary line to dismiss David Miller (21), India limited SA to 169/8 to clinch the title.
