The BCCI secretary was very optimistic about Team India winning the T20 World Cup 2024. Even before the tournament started, Shah predicted India to win the T20 World Cup 2024.
“Everyone has been waiting for my statement on the World Cup. In 2023, India did not win the World Cup after winning 10 matches straight, but we won hearts,” Shah said. “I want to make a promise that, in 2024, under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, India will win the T20 World Cup in Barbados,” Shah declared at an event in February.
Meanwhile, the T20 World Cup marked the end of an era as veterans Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma announced their retirement from T20Is.
