Watch | Rohit Sharma eats grass from Barbados pitch after India clinch T20 World Cup trophy

Rohit Sharma guided India to T20 World Cup victory after 17 years, celebrating emotionally with the team. His grass-eating act mirrored Djokovic's tradition, while he also announced his retirement from T20 cricket, expressing his emotional journey and long-awaited title win.

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma led the Men in Blue to their first T20 World Cup trophy in 17 years on Saturday. Soon after the win, the mood in the Indian camp turned emotional as the players celebrated victory at the marquee event after narrow defeats in the World Cup and ODI finals in less than a year's time.

Rohit looked particularly emotional as he clapped his hands and lay flat on the ground to take in the glorious victory. The Indian captain was also seen crying and sharing some emotional moments with the rest of the Indian team, including Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya.

Speaking at the post-match interaction with the press, Rohit said, “This was my last (T20) game as well… No better time to say goodbye to this format. I've loved every moment of this. I started my India career playing this format. This is what I wanted, I wanted to win the cup."

"I wanted this badly. Very hard to put in words. It was a very emotional moment for me. I was very desperate for this title in my life. Happy that we eventually crossed the line." the Indian skipper added.
