Everyone forgot that I made Rohit India captain: Ganguly

The Indian cricket team finally witnessed a high in an ICC tournament as the Rohit Sharma-led side clinched the T20 World Cup 2024 title by defeating South Africa in the final. The accomplishment earned India its first world title since the 2013 Champions Trophy triumph under MS Dhoni.

While Virat Kohli had failed to earn India an ICC title as captain, Rohit brought the much-deserved success while leading the side. However, it wasn't all well in the Indian cricket spectrum when Rohit had taken over the team's captaincy from Virat. In fact, Sourav Ganguly, the then BCCI president, had received plenty of hate for the move.

As entire India celebrates the success of Rohit Sharma as the skipper of the Indian team, Ganguly reminded everyone that it was his idea to give the leadership role to the Hitman.
