What did Rohit Sharma say?
“It is very difficult to describe what we have experienced in the last four years. We worked very hard as a team behind the scenes. What we have done today is not done in a day, it is the hard work of the last 4 years. Played under a lot of pressure. Kids (referring to players) understand what they have to do under pressure,” Rohit said.
