“It feels good to win 24 and 26 back-to-back. It’s a very special feeling. When we won in 2024, we thought it would be so special to do it again at home in 2026,” Surya told PTI Videos at his headquarters.“The next goal is to win the Olympic gold in 2028. The team has good momentum. If India wins the T20 World Cup in the same year, it will be great.”On being compared to Rohit and Dhoni, he added, “It feels good to join this elite company. I’m slowly feeling it. It’s a very special feeling to be talked about among such great people. I’ll try to do the same in future and help India win more trophies.”Rohit was the captain when India ended their ICC trophy drought with victory in Bridgetown during the Men’s T20 World Cup in June 2024. Meanwhile, Dhoni led India to triumphs in the 2007 ICC World Twenty20, the 2011 ICC ODI World Cup and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy.Before them, Kapil Dev led India to its first major world title when the team won the 1983 ODI World Cup.
