Rohit Shama’s old post of being not included in World Cup 2011 goes viral, Users React

On Wednesday, the Indian cricket team defeated New Zealand by 70 runs in the ICC World Cup 2023 semi-final. Rohit Shama is still playing well in the World Cup. In all ten of the tournament’s matches, the team won. In addition, the cricket player broke Chris Gayle’s record of 49 sixes during the semi-final match between India and New Zealand at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium to become the batsman with the most sixes in ODI World Cup history.

In the midst of all of this, one of the skipper’s older posts is going viral. Rohit Sharma expressed his disappointment at not being included in the 2011 World Cup squad in the post. “Very disappointed that I wasn’t selected for the World Cup team. I have to leave this place behind. However, it was really a major setback,” the 36-year-old tweeted on January 31, 2011.

Almost ten years later, the star batsman has guided his side to the World Cup finals. Following India’s victory over the Kiwis, comments on this post flooded the internet.

Actor Ayushmann Khurrana took to X and replied, “Whatta journey! Whatt guy!”

Another user added, “The journey of @ImRo45 the skipper has been phenomenal. He should be proud of the way he led India and batted; 12 years after this tweet. It is important to set goals in life.”

“Difficult times doesn’t create strong people. Only strong people are left after difficult times,” An internet user commented.

“What a journey by this champion. Was tough decision to drop Rohit but all this changed. The year 2013 was turning point in Rohit’s life – won the IPL as a captain, started opening regularly in ODIs, scored a double ton in ODIs, scored 2 tins in his first 2 Tests. On a cusp of history in 2023. Terrific man manager and a terrific role model,” said another user.
