However, ahead of the start of IPL 2024, BCCI Secretary, Shah promised everyone that India will go onto lift the T20 World Cup 2024 and plant the Indian tri color in the Barbados outfield under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma.

I have not made any comments about the 2023 World Cup, in which we lost the final in Ahmedabad. However, I can assure you that India will clinch the T20 World Cup in Barbados on June 29 under Rohit Sharma's captaincy. At this point in time, Rohit is an all-format captain. It is a collective decision, and the selectors are fully aligned on the matter. Hardik Pandya will retain his position as vice-captain for the T20 World Cup.
