In a hilarious moment during the felicitation ceremony of the Indian cricket team at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, captain Rohit Sharma was left speechless by a viral reference to one of his famous stump-mic lines.

Gaurav Kapur’s Unexpected Question

During the event, presenter Gaurav Kapur made an unexpected reference to a video that went viral earlier in 2024. The video showed Rohit Sharma uttering the iconic one-liner “koi bhi garden mein nahi ghoom” during the home Test series against England.Kapur, taking advantage of India’s unbeaten run to the T20 World Cup title, asked Rohit: “You have become the first team to win the men’s T20 World Cup undefeated. You did not lose a single game. It was a complete team effort. Is it safe to say ek bhi mein koi ek minute keliye garden mein nahi ghooma?”

Gaurav Kapur said, "it is fair to say that koi bhi ek minute ke liye bhi garden mein nahi ghuma". 🤣🔥 pic.twitter.com/lHqjc92re7

Rohit’s Dedication of the Trophy

Despite the humorous moment, Rohit, who lifted the T20 World Cup trophy for the second time in his career, dedicated the title to the entire nation.”Firstly… since we came to India, it’s been wonderful. The reception we’ve received here tells you the kind of enthusiasm people had for this trophy. Yes, of course, it means so much for us but it’s for the entire nation. Along with all the players who have represented the country, I think the people who’ve been wanting us to win the trophy, it [trophy] belongs to them,” Rohit said.The felicitation ceremony was part of the grand welcome the Indian team received upon their return to India after winning the T20 World Cup in the West Indies. The team met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his residence in New Delhi before traveling to Mumbai for the open-bus road show and the Wankhede Stadium event.
