Rohit, who retired from T20 Internationals after 160 matches, highlighted the significance of both matches against Pakistan in the inaugural 2007 edition. "We went on to win the World Cup," he said of the final, while also recalling the group-stage match decided by tournament's first-ever bowl-out.
The 2024 T20 World Cup-winning skipper admitted nerves never left him throughout his career. During India's dramatic 2022 comeback from 31/4, Rohit watched from the dressing room, saying, "You actually do feel helpless watching the game unfold when you can't do anything about it." He praised Virat Kohli's match-winning performance as "one of the greatest cricket games we've ever played."
