Legendary captains MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma were out at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, to place the trophy on the dais ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026 final between India and New Zealand on Sunday, March 08. The duo bringing the trophy on the ground ahead of the national anthems created a heartwarming moment, sending fans into a frenzy.
Dhoni and Rohit have both been T20 World Cup-winning captains themselves. The 44-year-old is also the first-ever captain to get his hands on the silverware when he led the Indian team to the title in the inaugural 2007 edition, whereas Rohit led his troops to the prestigious silverware after a 17-year-long wait in the previous edition in 2024.
