However, after winning the 2024 ICC Champions Trophy, Rohit Sharma, the India's ODI World Cup captain, in his witty way remarked that it wasn't less for him. The Champions Trophy win had a story of Rohit Sharma's grit. He was fighting against a hamstring injury, as revealed by the former India selector, Jatin Paranjape. India had defeated New Zealand by 4 wickets with 6 balls remaining to win the tournament jointly hosted by Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates. Rohit Sharma was awarded the player of the series for scoring 76 runs of 83 balls. His innings featured 7 boundaries and 3 sixes with a strike rate of 91.56.
