Speaking to JioStar at the start of India’s new home season, former India captain Rohit Sharma, who led India to ICC T20 World Cup glory in 2024 in the West Indies and the United States, expressed his desire to relive that feeling of lifting the trophy, while Virat Kohli, who got his hands on the ICC ODI World Cup trophy 15 years ago, is ready to give his all to win the title again for India.
“It’ll be great to win the upcoming ODI World CupI wouldn’t think about full circle and all that nowWinning a World Cup for India is a special feelingI have experienced that twice in the T20 formatIn 2007, I was just a young kid of 20 yearsOf course, it’s a big tournament; you’ve won a World Cup in your first year, it’s great.
“Then we won the Champions Trophy in 2013, and after that there was a long period, almost for 11 years, where we couldn’t win an ICC titleSo that’s why, when we won the T20 World Cup in 2024, there was a realisation of how important it wasSo that feeling is still inside to a great extentI know what winning a World Cup feels likeSo that’s why I want that feeling backThe fun we had, you can’t describe what that feeling is, because you can’t match thatThat’s why winning that World Cup is very important to me, because I want to have that feeling again, which we felt recently,” Rohit Sharma said.
“I’m not in a place where I feel like, if it didn’t happen earlier, I have to do it nowBut for me, it’s the last World Cup I’m going to play for IndiaAnd that is my motivationLike, to leave everything out thereAnd of course, the goal is absolutely to win the World CupAnd whatever it takes, I’m absolutely readyMy goal is to win as many games as I can for the team and my dream is to play a match-winning knock in the finals while chasing a score; that would be idealIf it happens, greatIf it doesn’t happen and we win the World Cup, I’ll be just as happy because, eventually, you understand that, as much as that competitive nature is there, it’s the last time you’re getting to play in a World CupSo, winning that trophy is the most important thing,” Virat Kohli added.
