Trophy Is For Entire Nation: Rohit Sharma
After the Open-Bus Roadshow from Marine Drive to Wankhede Stadium, the T20 World Cup-winning team was felicitated at the iconic venue where India had won the 2011 World Cup final.
"This trophy is for the entire nation. Along with all the players who have represented the country, we want to dedicate it to our fans, who have waited for 11 years," said Rohit.
Rohit also spoke about Suryakumar Yadav's catch off David Miller in the first ball of the last over of the final when the equation was 16 to win off 6 balls.

"I was standing at long on and Surya was at long off. Hardik was bowling the final over. Hats off to him. How much ever runs you have, there is too much pressure.
"The wind was blowing across and we wanted to keep it away from Miller. When it went up in the air, I thought it would go over. I am glad that it didn’t carry out of the ground. For Surya to take the catch was exceptional. He has practiced that a lot. To take that catch at the boundary line is a great effort," Rohit stated.
