The closest he came to the World Cup was in 2023, when he was the skipper of the team. India also had its most dominant campaign in the history of the tournament. He was able to lead the Indian team undefeated to the finals of the tournament,
Before the World Cup final, Rohit Sharma looked confident to win the same. He talked about his manifestations for the win, and even said that all he sees is the World Cup trophy. A video of his interview is enough to make the Indian fans emotional, as the team to be the strong favourites for the win.

2. Rohit Sharma in World Cup
Rohit Sharma has been the man for the big stage in the Indian team. Despite missing out on the 2011 World Cup, he has been a crucial part of the lineup in the three World Cup editions played.

3. Comeback in Australia Tour
The year 2025 has been a rollercoaster ride for the Hitman, filled with setbacks and comebacks.

The BGT was his last Test series, after which he announced his retirement from Tests in May 2025.
After winning the Champions Trophy 2025 final, he played his next game for India in the Australian tour. This came after a seven-month break for the Hitman, and fans doubted whether he would be able to perform well or not. Even the first game , as he got out on a single-digit score.
But he brought up a half-century in the second game, which came in tough conditions. And later in the third ODI, Rohit brought a century, bringing back-to-back great knocks for the team. These knocks didn't just show that he has not lost his form; they also showcased that Rohit Sharma is ready and coming for the 2027 World Cup.
