The post featured Rohit preparing for the CEAT Cricket Awards, where he was honoured as the International Cricketer of the Year for his excellence across all formats of the game.
This accolade also recognized Rohit’s instrumental role in leading India to victory in the 2024 T20 World Cup.
His captaincy, coupled with his impressive performance as the tournament’s second-highest run-scorer, solidified his place as a key figure in Indian cricket.
During the awards ceremony, Rohit expressed his unwavering ambition to achieve further success on the international stage.
Having already secured five IPL titles, his appetite for silverware remains strong, particularly after leading India to their first ICC trophy in 11 years.
He emphasized the addictive nature of winning, stating, “We’ve got a couple of solid tours coming up, very challenging ones as well. For us, it never stops. Once you achieve something you always look forward to achieving more. That is what I will be doing. I’m pretty sure my teammates will be thinking on the same line. What I’ve seen in the last two years in Indian cricket, there’s some real excitement, some real good cricket is being played.”
Looking ahead, Rohit is set to captain India in upcoming challenging tours, including a two-Test series against Bangladesh commencing in September.
Furthermore, BCCI secretary Jay Shah confirmed Rohit’s leadership for India in both the ICC Champions Trophy and the World Test Championship final next year.
