“Pride of India” – Rohit Sharma’s Mother Shares Heartfelt Post After World Cup Win

In an emotional Instagram post, Purnima Sharma, the mother of Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma, expressed her overwhelming pride and joy after her son led the Men in Blue to their second T20 World Cup triumph. India secured a thrilling seven-run victory over South Africa in Barbados, ending an 11-year-long ICC trophy drought.

One of the most heartwarming celebration pictures that went viral on social media featured Rohit Sharma with his daughter, Samaira, sitting on his shoulders as he posed with star batter Virat Kohli and the T20 World Cup trophy. Purnima shared an edited version of this image on Instagram, where Virat Kohli was referred to as Rohit Sharma’s brother. The text on the edited image read: “Daughter on his shoulders, nation on his back, brother by his side.”

The victorious moment was not just a testament to Rohit Sharma’s leadership but also marked a significant chapter in Indian cricket. Both Rohit and Virat Kohli announced their retirement from the T20I format after the triumphant win over South Africa. In his farewell address to the host broadcaster, Virat Kohli expressed his desire to see the next generation take over the reins in T20Is. Rohit Sharma, in the post-match press conference, emphasized that signing off with a trophy was the perfect way for him to bid adieu to the format.

This victory and the emotional tributes highlight the end of an era in Indian T20 cricket, with fans and family members cherishing the memories and achievements of these cricketing legends.
