Indian team players with the Champions Trophy. The team has won the tournament 12 years later.
Rohit scored 76 in the final In this match, Rohit played 76 runs and was selected as Player of the Match. Talking about his innings, Rohit said that he changed his game and adopted an aggressive style, which is not his natural style.
I wanted to bat this way. When you do something different, you need the support of team management. I first spoke to Rahul Bhai (Rahul Dravid, former Indian coach) and then with Goti Bhai. I have been playing in a different style for the past few years. We are now getting results.
Virat said- the team in safe hands Virat said after the match that when he and other big players leave the team, he would be convinced that the Indian team was in safe hands. He said that it was very nice, we wanted to comeback after a trip to Australia. It was great to play with young people. They are moving and moving India in the right direction. Many boys have played such impressive innings and bowled so well, it is a collective effort that made this victory possible for us.
I try to talk to these people, try to share my experiences, tell them how I have played for so long. When we leave cricket, you want to get in better position. Gill, Shreyas, Rahul have all played very impressive innings. The team is in good hands.
