Indian Skipper Rohit Sharma was elated in the last press conference of Champions Trophy 2025 after clinically winning trophy against New Zealand.
Before we dive deep into Rohit Sharma statement about unsung hero for India in the recently concluded Champions Trophy 2025 we must appreciate Black Caps for their brilliant run in the marquee event.
They gave tough time to India in the night of the final with their brilliant spin bowling spell and fielding performance against Men in Blue to emerge as strong contender for this mega event.
The highlight of Rohit Sharma press conference was about his retirement and unsung hero for Indian Cricket team to which he responded “I am not looking to retire anytime soon from these two formats” which simply would mean that Rohit as leader is eyeing for 2027 World Cup to be held in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.
The other question where he highlighted about the performance about one unsung hero in Indian cricket team who batted in pressure moments and bailed India out of crisis where he stated “It’s neither me, nor Hardik or Virat but unsung hero for us in batting is none other than Shreyas Iyer”
“Shreyas Iyer was the silent hero for us. He was crucial in our middle order and even when I got out today, he played crucial innings and made partnerships with Axar” added Rohit.
Let us share Iyer innings so far in Champions Trophy 2025 so far to be shared in the below format:
1. 15 Runs against Bangladesh
2. 56 Runs against Pakistan.
3. 79 runs against New Zealand in last league stage.
4. 45 runs against Australia in Semifinal.
5. 48 runs against New Zealand in Final
In total he has accumulated, 241 runs at an average of 48.60 in this ongoing Champions Trophy 2025 so far makes him in the list of top performing batters in this marquee event.
Iyer became the second highest run getter in the tournament trailing behind Rachin Ravindra.
” I am over the moon to be honest, Its pretty hard to sum this up in words. This has been my first ICC trophy, and I am overwhelmed by it, Kudos to each and everyone in our dressing room and the way we have turned up for the tournament is simply overwhelming” Iyer said after post match press conference.
“To be honest I love to bat under pressure, and I thrive under pressure and likely to take up the challenge, but if you can contribute towards victory its enough motivation for me to do well for India so I am truly happy” he added.
