Rohit: 2007 Final My Favorite India-Pak Match

Former India captain Rohit Sharma named the 2007 T20 World Cup final as his most cherished encounter against Pakistan, recalling key moments from their rivalry.

Rohit Sharma, ambassador for the current T20 World Cup, highlighted the 2007 final as his favorite India-Pakistan match, saying, "We went on to win the World Cup" that year. He also remembered the tournament's first-ever bowl-out against Pakistan in the group stage of the same competition.

The 2022 T20 World Cup match at the MCG stood out as well, where Rohit felt helpless watching from the dressing room as India recovered from 31/4. "When games are this tight, especially when you're off the field, it just takes that sense of control away," he admitted, praising Virat Kohli's match-winning innings as "one of the greatest cricket games we've ever played."
