New Delhi . Rohit Sharma has given such a statement on Tuesday, due to which the current head coach of Team India Gautam Gambhir may be angry. Team India won the Champions Trophy 2025 under the coaching of Gautam Gambhir and the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, but Rohit said that following the procedures started during the tenure of former coach Rahul Dravid helped the Indian team win the Champions Trophy. During the tenure of Rohit and Rahul, India recovered from the defeat in the 2023 ODI World Cup final and won the 2024 T20 World Cup. After this the Indian team won the 2025 Champions Trophy.

“I like that team and playing with them,” Rohit said during the CEAT Cricket Rating Awards ceremony. We all were on this journey for many years. This was not a one or two year job. Work was going on for many years. We came very close to winning the trophy many times, but could not win. That’s when everyone decided we had to do something different and there were two ways of looking at it. The thought always comes that one should do this and then go and do the same. This cannot be done by one or two players. We needed everyone to buy into the idea and it was good from everyone.”

“All the players who participated in that competition (Champions Trophy) thought about how to win matches and how to challenge themselves and not be complacent and not take anything for granted,” said Rohit, who received a memento for winning the Champions Trophy. This process helped me and Rahul bhai a lot when we were preparing for the T20 World Cup. We retained him in the Champions Trophy as well.” When India won the Champions Trophy, the head coach of the team was not Dravid but Gautam Gambhir.
