Winning Unbeaten Makes This Even More Special, Rohit Sharma After India's CT 2025 Triumph
Dubai International Stadium: After leading India to an unbeaten ICC Men’s Champions Trophy victory, captain Rohit Sharma opened up about the team’s journey, overcoming challenges, and his personal outlook on the future. Rohit shared insights into India’s approach, their ability to handle adversity, and the evolution of their mindset since past tournament heartbreaks. India’s Champions Trophy campaign was nothing short of remarkable. In the final, they defeated New Zealand by four wickets at the Dubai International Stadium.
“We went undefeated despite losing all five tosses. Yet, we still won the trophy,” he said. “Winning a tournament without a single defeat is a massive achievement in itself, and it gives me immense satisfaction. Until we lifted the trophy, no one really thought about it. But after the victory, it hit us—we had gone through the entire tournament unbeaten. That realization made it even more special," Rohit said on JioHotstar.
Rohit credited the team’s unity and clarity of roles for their success. “We have an incredibly solid team, and it’s a joy to play alongside such committed individuals. Everyone knows their role and responsibilities—what needs to be done and what must be avoided. Of course, emotions run high on the field. Sometimes, I get a bit carried away, but it’s all in the spirit of the game. The main goal is to win, and we are ready to do whatever it takes to achieve that.”
