CRICKET
Rohit Sharma is leading India for the first time at a major ICC tournament and is looking to bring home the T20 World Cup after a 15-year wait.
Skipper Rohit Sharma's emotional reaction at the end of India's national anthem before the T20 World Cup game against Pakistan has given goosebumps in abundance across the country. A bit overwhelmed, a bit nervous and plenty sentimental... we could go on and on to try and describe it in words.
"Rohit's emotions hit us right in the feels," tweeted the India skipper's Indian Premier League (IPL) side Mumbai Indians.
