The T20 World Cup win in Barbados was a special one for Indian cricket, and fans continue to hold the victory close to their hearts. While celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi, they found a way to honor their beloved captain for his contributions to Indian cricket.
Rohit Sharma has also recently returned to ODI cricket, competing in India’s bilateral series against Sri Lanka.

Still, fans remain hopeful as the team prepares for future challenges under Rohit's leadership.
