BCCI secretary Jay Shah praised Team India’s T20 World Cup title win in West Indies in a video message, expressing confidence in future victories under Rohit Sharma’s leadership. Shah dedicated the win to coach Rahul Dravid and senior players Rohit, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja, who retired from T20Is after the victory against South Africa. He acknowledged the team’s recent achievements, including a historic win and consecutive wins, leading up to the T20 World Cup triumph.
Shah highlighted the final five overs of the T20 World Cup final, crediting players like Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, and Suryakumar Yadav for their contributions. He looked ahead to future competitions like the World Test Championship Final and Champions Trophy, expressing faith in Rohit’s leadership.
The Indian team was congratulated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi upon their return, where they received a prize money of 125 crores from BCCI at the Wankhede Stadium. The victory marked the end of an 11-year ICC title drought for India, bringing the T20 World Cup back home after 17 years.
