He said, “This has to be the greatest time, I can say that. It’s only because how desperately I wanted to win this. So, all the runs—all the runs that I’ve scored in all these years, I think it does matter, but I’m not big on stats and all of that.

“I think winning games for India and winning trophies for India, that is what I look forward to all the time. And having this now right beside me probably has to be, I don’t know, honestly, I don’t know if it’s the greatest or what but it is definitely one of the greatest, I can say that.

Emotions were running high after the victory, with Rohit seen sliding onto the ground in the final over as the win was secured, tears of joy streaming down his cheeks. “I wanted this badly. It’s very hard to put it in words because that moment, I don’t want to say what I was thinking and what was going in my mind, but it was a very emotional moment personally for me. I wish I could capture that moment myself but not really, you can’t do that but I will always remember that.

“Yeah, those are the moments you wait for and then you don’t plan these things, it just happens because you’re so desperate for certain things in life and I was very desperate for this in my life. So, happy that we eventually crossed the line this time,” he added.

Rohit signed off, praising a whole host of contributors to the win in the final. “I am very lucky to have players like this in my squad, players who are playing for me and Team India – really, really grateful and thankful as well.”
