Team India’s T20 World Cup campaign kicked off in a symbolic way on Saturday, with the first batch of players departing for the United States. Captain Rohit Sharma, head coach Rahul Dravid, and other key members boarded the flight.
Before their departure, the team gathered for a celebratory cake-cutting ceremony. However, in a moment that captured everyone’s attention, Rohit Sharma politely declined a slice of cake.
This act reminded fans of a similar instance during Asia Cup 2023. Back then, as captain, Rohit had urged fans to hold off on celebrations until after securing the World Cup trophy, a feat that ultimately eluded India.

Now, as captain once again, Rohit Sharma has a chance to rewrite history. This tournament marks his potential last shot at clinching a major ICC trophy for India.
