In the 2007 campaign, which was also Rohit’s debut in the format, the batter had a sensational run, hitting 88 runs without being dismissed, including crucial knocks in the Super Eights phase versus South Africa (50*) and in the final versus Pakistan (30*).
The 2024 campaign was even more special, where Rohit captained India to the elusive title.
He led by example and was prolific with the bat, being India’s highest run-getter with 257 runs at a strike-rate of 156.70.
His quickfire starts gave the Team in Blue an early advantage at the start of the innings. His standout performances came in the Super Eights against Australia (92 off 41) and the semi-final versus England (57 off 39).
