Jay Shah, the Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), has revealed that Rohit Sharma will captain India during the T20 World Cup scheduled for June.

“We may have lost the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup, but we won hearts there by winning 10 matches in a row. I am confident that India will lift the 2024 T20 World Cup under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy at Barbados,” Shah said during his speech while the renaming the SCA Stadium as the Niranjan Shah Stadium on Wednesday.

During a ceremony to inaugurate the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot, Shah shared his sentiments with the audience, acknowledging the disappointment of the previous ODI World Cup while expressing optimism about securing the ICC trophy under Rohit's leadership later this year.

At a recent event attended by key figures including Rohit Sharma, head coach Rahul Dravid, and chief selector Ajit Agarkar, BCCI secretary Jay Shah made a significant announcement. 

He declared Rohit Sharma as India's captain across all formats, confirming the decision made in consultation with selectors prior to the T20I series against Australia.

 With this declaration, the suspense surrounding India's captaincy for the ICC T20 World Cup in the USA and Caribbean has been lifted. Shah's confident assertion, made in the presence of cricketing luminaries and teammates, sets the stage for India to aim for victory under Rohit's leadership in the upcoming tournament.


After a 14-month absence from the T20I side, Rohit Sharma marked his return in January during the series against Afghanistan. Despite starting with two ducks in the initial games, the skipper bounced back emphatically in the third match, notching up his fifth century in the format. In a thrilling encounter that extended to a double Super-Over, Rohit contributed crucially with scores of 13 and 11 in each iteration, ultimately aiding India in clinching the victory.

Scheduled to commence on June 1, the T20 World Cup 2024 will be co-hosted by the West Indies and the United States of America.
 India's journey kicks off against Ireland on June 5 in New York. Placed in Group A alongside Pakistan, Ireland, Canada, and the USA, India aims to secure a spot in the Super-Eights stage by finishing among the top two teams in their group.
