Rohit, the ambassador for the current T20 World Cup, named the 2007 final as his favorite encounter against Pakistan, where India went on to win the tournament. He also recalled the 2007 group-stage match decided by a bowl-out, which India also won.
During the 2022 T20 World Cup at the MCG, Rohit admitted feeling helpless watching from the dressing room as India chased down 160 after being reduced to 31/4, praising Virat Kohli's match-winning innings.
