Rohit led the team by example and marshalled his troops really well during their undefeated run to the T20 World Cup silverware. However, the success at the T20 World Cup came after a sequence of heartbreaks at various ICC tournaments. India lost to England by 10 wickets in the second semifinal of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022. They got comprehensively beaten by Australia in the final of the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23 cycle and arguably suffered their biggest heartbreak when their hopes of winning their third ODI World Cup came crashing down in the final in front of a capacity crowd at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Notably, Rohit was named the ICC Men's Cricketer of the Year at the CEAT Awards on August 21 and during the ceremony, he expressed his desire to win more ICC titles in the upcoming two-year period. "There's a reason I have won five IPL trophies as well. I am not gonna stop. Once you get a taste of winning games, and winning cups, you don't want to stop and we'll keep pushing, keep striving for bigger things in the future," Rohit said after being asked about his goals as India captain.
