No teams have done it – Rohit Sharma picks his most exciting moment in T20 World Cup history

One of the most iconic memories of the T20 World Cup that Team India will always boast of is the triumph over Pakistan in the very first game that they played in the history of the tournament. They ended up sharing the spoils of the game until the match went into a Bowl-Out. Rohit Sharma, the Indian skipper opened up on the very special memory in a chat with ICC.

Talking to ICC in a video, the Indian captain said, “It is quite exciting (playing another T20 World Cup). I never thought about it, honestly speaking. But it is nice having played all the T20 World Cups. And I've enjoyed every bit of it. When you come to ICC tournaments, it is always exciting, [and] brings a lot of new challenges.”

Pointing out one of the most exciting memories of this tournament, Rohit said, “I think the first thing that comes to my mind is the bowl-out that we had against Pakistan. I think that was the first ever bowl-out that happened, and for us to come out on top was even more exciting. You know, it has never happened before. No teams have done it in the World Cup.”

Elaborating further, Rohit said, “So it was quite exciting for us to have a crack at it and come out on top eventually. And I still remember that after our normal training, we used to train for bowl-outs, which was quite exciting. Everyone used to participate in that bowl-out. And we knew at some stage we have to have, we have to play and win that game through bowl-out. And that's exactly what happened when we played a game against Pakistan. And like I said, it was nice to come out on top.”
