“What next? I would like to remind everyone what I said before the T20 World Cup, that Rohit Sharma will plant the Indian flag at Barbados and he did,” Shah said during an event in Mumbai on Wendesday.
“When you have 1.4 billion people’s blessings, I can say we will do the same in the Champions Trophy, World Test Championship final and women’s T20 World Cup,” he added.
