The man who led India’s win in 2024 grew emotional upon returning to the stadium.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A new video of Rohit Sharma<\/a> has emerged, leaving fans nostalgic. \u201cAjeeb lag raha ha idhar. Waha se idhar ajeeb lag raha ha (It feels so weird. From there to here is so weird),\u201d he said in the video while standing on the field.<\/p>\n

Tournament Ambassador Rohit Sharma was met with a standing ovation. Loud chants of \u201cMumbai Cha Raja\u201d were also heard. \u201cIt is always nice to be here. They love their cricket here. Mumbai, the energy, I mean it’s never going to be disappointing,\u201d Sharma added.<\/p>\n

Rohit Sharma met and greeted the Suryakumar Yadav<\/a>-led Indian side.<\/p>\n

He also shared a hug with rapper Badshah. Hardik Pandya also starred in the video.<\/p>\n

It’s emotional: Rohit Sharma<\/h2>\n

\u201cIn the midst of everything, sometimes you don’t realise, you’ve gotta enjoy the moment as well. Enjoy the game as well. This moment will never come back. Playing in India is never going to be easy,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThat’s a very emotional feel because I am still not used to it being this side of the field rather than being that side.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a wonderful experience standing there and singing the national anthem. Feels very different,\u201d concluded Sharma.<\/p>\n

The opening ceremony saw a performance by Badshah, followed by a dance performance from Nora Fatehi. The field was also illuminated by state-of-the-art LED displays and pyrotechnics, painting the sky purple and gold.<\/p>\n

After the fireworks, the India vs USA opening clash began.<\/p>\n

India vs USA<\/h2>\n

The USA won the toss and chose to field, striking early by removing openers Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan. The underdogs dominated the opening six overs, with Shadley van Schalkwyk taking three wickets in a single over as India slipped to 46 for 4. India made two changes to their playing XI for the match, leaving out Sanju Samson. Mohammed Siraj replaced injured Harshit Rana, with Jasprit Bumrah ruled out due to illness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
