Rohit Sharma: Only Indian Cricketer to play all T20 World Cups

Rohit Sharma, who is currently leading the Indian team in the ICC T20 Men’s World Cup as a skipper has started the tournament with a bash. Against South Africa in an important group match in Durban in 2007, Rohit Sharma played his first innings and won Player of the Match, ensuring India's place in the tournament's semi-finals.

While talking about the advancement in the T20 World Cup tournament, Sharma stated:

“Honestly speaking, when it started, we had no clue about how it was going to make a mark on world cricket. Now that we sit back after playing the first inaugural World Cup, which was in 2007, and we are in 2024. 17 years have passed by. But that's also a lot to do with how the players have, each country and the players have evolved with the game and taken it to the next level.”

He further added:

“Every year you see the style of play, how players have evolved playing this format. It is quite exciting and I never thought it would reach this level because when it started, obviously it was a very unknown factor to the world as to what this format will bring to the world. I must say that it has reached a level where nobody believed.”
