Recalling the final match, Rohit told how he couldn’t sleep properly a day before the final due to nervousness. Rohit said on a sports channel program, 13 years is a very long time. Most people’s careers don’t even last 13 years. Therefore, I had to wait for such a long time to win the World Cup. I last won the World Cup in 2007. For me, nothing could have been bigger than this.

Rohit Sharma’s statement

“I couldn’t sleep the whole night. All I could think about was the World Cup. I was nervous. I couldn’t feel my legs. Was I nervous? Of course. I don’t show it, but inside, it was a lot. We had to leave around 8:30 or 9 in the morning, but I woke up at seven. From my room I could see the ground and just kept looking at it. I remember thinking, ‘In two hours I will be there and in four hours the result will be out. Either the cup will be here or not,” said Rohit Sharma
