Rohit Sharma makes shocking revelation on Team India about T20 WC 2024 game against Pakistan in USA

The fans and experts of the game still remember the iconic India vs Pakistan clash from last year’s T20 World Cup. The game was played at Nassau County Stadium in New York. In a thrilling encounter, India successfully defended a low total of 119 runs. The first anniversary of India’s historic T20 World Cup 2024 win is just two days away.

Meanwhile, the World Cup-winning skipper Rohit Sharma recently made a shocking revelation while speaking about a day before the high-voltage T20 WC game against the arch-rivals Pakistan.

Rohit spoke about the moment when the men in blue were not allowed to leave their rooms in the hotel where they were staying before the game.

That’s when you realise this isn’t just another match – Rohit Sharma

“Before the India vs Pakistan match, we were told there was a threat — something was going on. So, two days before the game, we weren’t allowed to step out of the hotel. The atmosphere started building from there,” said Rohit Sharma in an exclusive and special conversation on JioHotstar.

“We were ordering food in, and the hotel was so packed you could barely walk. Fans, media — everyone was there. That’s when you realise this isn’t just another match — something special is about to happen. As soon as we got near the stadium, it already felt like a celebration — Indian fans, Pakistani fans, all dancing and enjoying themselves,” he added later.

Furthermore, the former T20I skipper also revealed his experience of playing against Pakistan on numerous occasions. He also explained the energy before the game day whenever the arch-rivals take on each other in the major ICC tournaments. 

“I’ve played so many India–Pakistan games now — I’ve lost count — but that pre-match energy, that feeling… It’s always something else. Nothing compares to it,” he said.  

Speaking of the T20 WC 2024 game between India and Pakistan, the men in green were comfortably heading towards the target. But it was India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah who brought his team back in the game and played a vital role in restricting Pakistan seven runs short of the target and winning the game by 6 runs.
