New Delhi: Team India captain Rohit Sharma has shared a social media post just hours before the completion of the 2024. It was a post to express his gratitude for all that he went through a roller-coaster ride of the year. He also shared multiple images and video clips in a montage video with the song from popular London-based band Coldplay titled ‘A Sky Full of Stars’.
It was a mix year for the Mumbai-born player. He entered the year by drawing the Test series in Cape Town. He returned to the T20 International format after a year of hiatus and notched up his fifth century in the format against Afghanistan in Bengaluru.

There were multiple controversial theories running across the media streams after the captaincy change by the franchise. Regardless of that, Rohit was named as the captain of India’s T20I team for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.
India went on to win their second T20 World Cup after a span of 17 years under Rohit’s leadership by winning nine matches on the bounce as the only unbeaten team in the tournament. The Men in Blue defeated South Africa in the final by seven runs in Barbados.
Rohit announced his time from T20 Internationals after the T20 World Cup triumph after playing 159 matches between 2007 and 2024.
