I know what they have been through all these years: Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma, in a video shared by the ICC at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai, said that the India Women’s team came very close to winning the title but failed to cross the finish line. He said:
“I know what they’ve been through all these years, chasing that elusive trophy. It’s always been tough. We’ve come very close so many times but couldn’t cross the line. It’s been the same story for both teams over the last 15 years. I really hope they get over the line this time.”
Together with them, the entire nation is behind these 15 players: Rohit Sharma
The World Cup-winning captain further praised India Women for playing sensational cricket over the years and hoped that the team would finally cross the finish line and win their first ever World Cup. He said:
“The way we played that match was fantastic to watch. So it doesn’t surprise me that 50,000 people are here today. Together with them, the entire country is behind these fifteen players.”
“They have already made huge strides in the last five or six years, and it will only grow from here,” Rohit added. “I hope they get the crown today. That would benefit not only these players but also the younger generation who look up to them. There are no better ambassadors for the game than those who are here now.”
