Rohit: 2007 Final Favorite India-Pak T20 Encounter

Former India captain Rohit Sharma revealed the 2007 T20 World Cup final as his most cherished encounter against Pakistan, highlighting memorable victories in the high-voltage rivalry.

Speaking as ambassador for the current T20 World Cup, Rohit recalled India's triumph in the 2007 final and the dramatic bowl-out victory in the group stage. "My favourite T20 World Cup match against Pakistan was definitely the final we played, nothing can beat that. We went on to win the World Cup," he said.

The 2022 T20 World Cup thriller at the MCG also stood out, where Rohit watched helplessly from the dressing room as India chased down 160 after being reduced to 31/4. "Kohli played a blinder there. That was again very, very special to watch because we were in no position to win that game," Rohit remarked, highlighting the comeback as one of cricket's greatest contests.
