Furthermore, Rohit Sharma was visibly moved as the Indian women’s cricket team made history at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai by lifting their first ever ICC Women’s World Cup trophy. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led team triumphed over South Africa in a thrilling final that brought the crowd to their feet.
The Indian captain was among a handful of former men’s cricketers who turned up at the venue to support the women’s side. As Harmanpreet took the decisive catch to seal the win, cameras captured Rohit’s emotional reaction from the VIP stands, a moment that quickly went viral across social media.
