“This trophy is for him”: Kuldeep Yadav on Rohit Sharma
Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav has dedicated the team’s T20 World Cup triumph to captain Rohit Sharma. India defeated South Africa in the T20 World Cup final last week in Barbados, ending a long 11-year wait to lift an ICC trophy. Rohit led the team from the front, scoring 257 runs during the tournament. In a recent interaction, Kuldeep praised Rohit for “loving the team” and leading from the front.
“This World Cup was for him, the way he planned and the way he loved this team. The intent and approach that he used to talk about in team meetings, he implemented that in the tournament while batting, led from the front. So this trophy is for him,” Kuldeep told Sports Today.
Kuldeep also showered praise on the Indian trio (Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja) who retired after the T20 World Cup final.
“There is probably no better feeling than this. In the final Virat bhai hit the 70-odd runs, won the player of the match. I am sure he will be very happy with his career in the T20 format, same for Rohit bhai. Jadeja as well, he played such brilliant cricket over the years,” he added.
