She said, “I have never thought I would see this day. Before going to the World Cup, he had come to meet us and said that he wanted to quit T20Is after this. I just said try to win. I was not feeling well today and had a doctor’s appointment, but I still came as I wanted to see this day.“

Rohit’s brother, Vishal, was also present at the Wankhede stadium. He said, “We came here as sir (PV Shetty) said we all should go. He took all of us. I was young when I saw Rohit winning the 2007 (ICC World T20) title but this one is special. The huge cheer he got shows how much Mumbai loves him.” Rohit Sharma, along with Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja, have quit T20Is, and these three will be playing ODIs and tests for India.
