Looking back on those moments, Rohit relives the memories fondly, describing the 2007 T20 World Cup games as his favourite T20 World Cup fixture against Pakistan.
“My favourite T20 World Cup match against Pakistan was definitely the final we played, nothing can beat that. We went on to win the World Cup.” said Rohit.
India and Pakistan went head-to-head twice in the inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup in 2007. Preceding the final was a league-stage clash that ended in a tie and was decided by the tournament’s first-ever bowl-out.
“In that same year (2007), we also played a league game against Pakistan, which was the only match in the tournament decided by a bowl-out, and we came out on top there as well. So in 2007, both World Cup games were special,” Rohit recalled.
