During a recent event, ICC Chairman Jay Shah referred to Rohit Sharma as “the Captain.” The latter remarked with a smile that the former was the only one who could use that particular moniker for him. A video of this moment is making rounds on social media platforms.
Shah expressed, “Our captain is here. I just use that name for him. He has taken Team India to two ICC trophies. Indian team won the 2023 World Cup by playing ten matches in a row and winning hearts of the fans, but they still could not get the trophy. I told in Rajkot in February 2024 that the next World Cup would be our target to win the trophy and hearts of the fans both.”
