Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma Share Emotional Moment After T20 World Cup Victory
In a packed Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma shared a heartfelt moment during the team’s felicitation ceremony. Kohli expressed that in their fifteen-year-long association, he had never seen Rohit show so much emotion. After the T20 World Cup victory, Kohli witnessed tears in Rohit’s eyes as they embraced each other.
Kohli, now 35, reflected on his journey as he stood on the same pitch where he made a statement at the age of 21 about carrying Sachin Tendulkar on their shoulders. He expressed his hope that he and Rohit had carried the burden over the years and brought the trophy back to Wankhede.
During the game, Kohli knew it was his last and that it was time to let the next generation take over. As the emotional outpouring from senior players like Sachin Tendulkar, Harbhajan Singh, and Yuvraj Singh sunk in, Kohli realized the depth of their feelings.
On a lighter note, when asked to sign a petition declaring Jasprit Bumrah a national treasure, Kohli readily agreed, praising Bumrah as a once-in-a-generation player who plays for the team.
The departing coach, Rahul Dravid, also expressed his emotional attachment and appreciation for the love shown during the victory celebration, signaling the end of an era.
This victory parade brought out a range of emotions from the players, coaching staff, and fans alike, showcasing the special bond shared by the team and their supporters.
