BCCI secretary Jay Shah confirmed on Wednesday that Rohit Sharma will be leading the Indian cricket team in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Shah was present at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Khanderi, which was renamed after veteran cricket administrator Niranjan Shah, as the chief guest. During his speech, he said that although India lost the Cricket World Cup 2023 final against Australia, they will excel in the T20 World Cup under Rohit's leadership. "In 2023 (final) at Ahmedabad, even though we did not win the World Cup after 10 straight wins, we won hearts. I want to promise you that in 2024 (T20 World Cup) in Barbados (venue for the final), under Rohit Sharma's captaincy, hum Bharat ka jhanda gaadenge (we will hoist the Indian flag)," Shah said at the end of his speech.
