India broke their 11-year ICC trophy drought by winning the T20 World Cup in Barbados on June 29 last year. The team secured a seven-run victory over South Africa in the encounter. This was India’s first ICC trophy since the 2013 Champions Trophy, when MS Dhoni led the team to victory over England.
Speaking on Star Sports, Rohit Sharma admitted that he initially felt Pant had injured his knee, which had suffered a blow in the 2022 car accident.
"See, Hardik has come to bowl there. So, we were discussing with Hardik what to do. I didn't know what had happened before. I genuinely thought that something had happened to him," Rohit told Star Sports in an interview.
South Africa in Control of the Chase Before Rishabh Pant’s Gesture
South Africa were in control of the chase, needing just 26 runs from the final 24 balls with Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller well-set at the crease. While Rohit Sharma was setting the field and discussing plans with Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant went down on the field.
This victory marked the beginning of a dominant run in white-ball cricket for India. They went on to win the 2025 Champions Trophy, remaining unbeaten throughout the tournament and defeating New Zealand in the final.

"The physiotherapist had arrived and was taping his knee. Klassen was waiting for the match to start again. I am not saying it's the only reason, but it could be one of them - Pant Sahab used his smarts and things worked out in our favour," he had said.
