It was under his captaincy that India won the T20 World Cup for the first time in 2007. After 17 years, India is again the T20 World Cup champion. Former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was quick to congratulate ‘Team India’ after Rohit Sharma led India to win the T20 World Cup for the second time. Not only Dhoni, but former captain Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar also congratulated the new world champions.
Dhoni is not very active on social media. But on the day of such a crushing victory for India, he could not keep himself away from social media. Writes on Instagram, “India World Cup Champion! At one point, my heart rate increased. Congratulations on going from calm to strong-willed in the face of adversity to great success. Indians from every corner of India and the world congratulate you for bringing home the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Best wishes.” The former India captain will turn 43 next month. He also informed me that Team India gave him a great gift on the eve of his birthday.
Sourav congratulated India as they won: “Congratulations to Rohit Sharma and the entire team. We may have won the World Cup after 11 years, but with the talent we have in the country, we can win a lot more.” Along with Bumrah-Birats, the name of head coach Rahul Dravid has also been mentioned in the greeting message.
On the other hand, Master Blaster sent a special message in the name of friend Dravid, writing on the handle, “A chapter of Indian cricket has been completed in the West Indies. In the 2007 World Cup, we had to return from here after losing. India won the 2024 T20 World Cup today as a powerhouse of cricket. My friend Rahul Dravid didn’t taste the World Cup in 2011, but he played a big role behind this World Cup win.” Sachin congratulated not only Dravid but also every member of the member of the support staff and other cricketers.
