What did Rohit say on becoming the brand ambassador?
After becoming the brand ambassador of T20 World Cup 2026, Rohit Sharma said that it is an honor for him. Rohit said, ‘This is a big honor for me. No one was made ambassador while playing cricket. Hopefully I will be able to spread the same magic like last year. Winning the ICC trophy is a big challenge. I have experienced this myself. Have completed 18 years in cricket. Won two ICC trophies early in his career and then a few more in the last few years. But we remember how desperate we were as a team and management in the intervening years to win the ICC Trophy.
