Win Projections to be updated soon
Since his team’s victory at the T20 World Cup in 2024, India captain Rohit Sharma has been ecstatic. Fans all throughout the world have showered the famous cricket player with unending love and admiration. The Men in Blue were the first team to win every match at the T20 World Cup.
Rohit Sharma altered his social media profile photo in the midst of the festivities. But ever since he altered his profile photo, the image has attracted unwanted attention because he was charged with disrespecting the Indian flag.
Rohit selected the photo of the Indian flag being planted at the Kensington Oval in Barbados following India’s championship victory over South Africa. A fan noticed the photograph and went to X (previously known as Twitter) to draw attention to the fact that the flag could be seen touching the ground. A lot of people even brought up the affront posed by the 1971 Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, which states that “the (Indian) flag shall not be allowed to touch the ground or the floor or trail in water.”

That earth will always be in my memory: Rohit Sharma
After winning the World Cup, Rohit Sharma also made some progress in Barbados. The skipper expressed his desire for a piece of that moment to remain with him, emphasising his desire to remember it forever.
“When I went to the pitch, I was feeling it because that pitch gave us this.” We used that specific pitch for our game, and we also won on that specific pitch. Both that pitch and that ground will always be remembered by me. I thus desired to carry a portion of it with me. That being said, those are very, really unique moments. And I desired a piece of the location where all of our goals were realised. That was the motivation behind it, as Rohit Sharma stated in a BCCI-shared video.
After the victory, the star batsman and Virat Kohli both declared their retirement from Twenty20 international cricket. The two Indian cricketing icons announced their retirements, and star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja followed suit shortly after taking home the biggest prize in the history of the sport.
