Rohit Sharma Emotional as Indian Women’s Team Lifts First ICC World Cup
The Indian women’s cricket team made history at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai. They defeated South Africa by 52 runs to clinch their first-ever ICC Women’s World Cup title. Just two years ago, on home soil in India, the men’s team suffered heartbreak, losing the 2023 World Cup final to Australia.
On that day, a defeated Rohit Sharma had to stand with his team and watch the opponents celebrate their victory. This time, however, Rohit witnessed the success of an Indian team. As he sat in the stands and watched Harmanpreet Kaur and her team immerse themselves in championship celebrations, his eyes welled up with tears.
This emotional scene did not escape the paparazzi. Throughout the match, TV cameras frequently turned toward Rohit. He was seen smiling when Shafali Verma hit boundaries and nodding in appreciation for Smriti Mandhana’s brilliant shots. He remained completely focused during the intense moments of the game.
But when Deepti Sharma took the final South African wicket, Rohit’s reaction became a reflection of the entire nation’s emotion. He stood up and clapped continuously, with tears shimmering in his eyes.
The image of Rohit standing in the stands as the players hugged each other on the field touched the hearts of millions. Many took to social media, with some writing, “Rohit knows what this victory means,” and others commenting, “The King saluted his Queens.”
