Rohit also showered massive praise for Hardik Pandya who was one of the top performers for India in the T20 World Cup 2024 and even bowled the final over in the summit clash against South Africa. He held the nerve to take two wickets as India registered a thrilling seven-run victory to clinch the title.
"Hardik was bowling the final over for us. Hats off to him for bowling that last over. You know, no matter how many runs you need, there is always so much pressure to bowl that over. But hats off to him."
The crowd started chanting Hardik's name as the all-rounder stood up and took a bow.
