He added: “This what I wanted and it happened. I was very desperate for this in my life. Happy that we crossed the line this time.”
Rohit said the triumph here was written in the stars. “Jo likha hain who hone wala hain, ye likha tha but humko pata nahi hain kee kab likha hain. Nahi toh hum aaram se aate and bolte ‘likha hain’ aur ho jayega (I believe that what is written is going to happen. I think it was written. But obviously you don’t know before the match. Otherwise, we would have easily come and said, it’s written),” he quipped.
“Everything has to fall in place. As you saw, we were way behind the game. At one point, it seemed like they would win easily,” he said referring to South Africa gaining the upper hand courtesy Heinrich Klaasen’s blazing 52 off 27 balls.
The official Instagram handle of Wimbledon Open also acknowledged the Indian captain and shared a collage of him and the tennis legend after India’s World Cup win.
