NEW DELHI: India captain Rohit Sharma's unique walk to receive the T20 World Cup trophy that became the talk of the town also drew the attention of none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
PM Modi engaged in a delightful exchange with the victorious Indian cricket team, who recently clinched the T20 World Cup title in the USA and the Caribbean.

The discussion revolved around the team's experiences and the path they traversed during the prestigious ICC tournament.

During their exchange, Modi playfully inquired about Rohit's motivation for breaking into a dance when he went to take the trophy.

"Every countryman must have noticed it but Rohit I have seen two extreme things. The emotions could be seen this time and the way you shook your legs when you went to take the trophy," Modi asked Rohit.
"Sir, this was a day we had been waiting for a long time so I was told by my teammates don't go for a simple walk, do something different when you go to lift the trophy, " Rohit responded.

The PM then hilariously asked if it was Chahal's idea. And Rohit said it was Chahal and Kuldeep's both.
Rohit also spoke about the pitch soil he tasted after the victory.
"I wanted to remember the occasion where we got that elusive victory and wanted to taste that soil because we won the trophy by playing on that pitch. We all waited for a long long time and worked really hard to win the World Cup.
"We came close to winning the World Cup last year but we failed to cross the final hurdle. But this time, the hard work of the entire team finally paid off and could achieve the victory. That pitch holds significance because we played on it and I wanted to do something and it spontaneously happened at that time," he said.
