In a video shared on the official Instagram account of ICC, Bumrah highlighted Rohit’s proactive approach and the freedom he gives to his players. Bumrah said, “Rohit Sharma has been absolutely phenomenal. Even in the previous World Cup, he has been proactive, he gives a lot of freedom to his players, he lets the players express themselves. When he feels the right time, he shares his own experience during the match. So ya, it feels really great and I feel very happy playing under him and the confidence of the group is also very high.”

Former England skipper Nasser Hussain also expressed his admiration for Rohit Sharma, praising his batting and leadership qualities. Hussain described Rohit as “the iron fist in the velvet glove,” noting his calming influence and supportive nature.

India, led by Rohit Sharma, has dominated the tournament, defeating strong teams like Australia, Pakistan, and England. In contrast, South Africa has had a more challenging journey, narrowly escaping elimination in several matches.
