New Delhi. Captain Rohit Sharma has played an important role in taking Team India to the final of the T20 World Cup 2024. Rohit has led the team in this World Cup. He has scored two consecutive half-centuries in batting. However, Virat Kohli's bat has remained silent so far. The final of the T20 World Cup will be played between India and South Africa on Saturday. This match will be held at Kensington Oval in Barbados. Virat and Rohit will register a big record in their name as soon as they enter the field. They will leave behind the record of legendary all-rounder Yuvraj Singh. Virat and Rohit are playing the final of an ICC tournament for the 8th time.
Former Indian team all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has participated in the ICC finals 7 times. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have played the ICC finals seven times each, equal to Yuvraj. Virat played his first ICC final in the year 2011. Then under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Team India made it to the final of the ODI World Cup and won the trophy. After this, in 2013, India reached the final of the Champions Trophy. In 2014, Kohli played the final of the T20 World Cup, while in 2017 he again played the final of the Champions Trophy. In the years 2021 and 2023, the Indian team reached the final of the World Test Championship in which Virat Kohli participated.
'Hitman' Rohit Sharma is also playing the ICC final for the eighth time. Rohit played the T20 World Cup final for the first time in 2007. After this, he played the ODI World Cup final in 2011, the Champions Trophy final in 2013, the T20 World Cup final in 2014, the Champions Trophy final in 2017 and the World Test Championship final in 2021 and 2023. The Indian team also played the ODI World Cup final in 2023 where Rohit was the captain.
Veteran cricketers MS Dhoni, Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar have also not been able to reach this record. Yuvi played his first ICC final in the form of Champions Trophy in the year 2000. After this he played the final of Champions Trophy in 2002. He was seen playing in the finals of 2007 T20 World Cup, ODI World Cup in 2011, T20 World Cup in 2014 and Champions Trophy in 2017.
