"The biggest moment in our careers" - Rohit Sharma on 2023 World Cup final vs Australia
In a pre-match press conference ahead of the 2023 World Cup final, Rohit Sharma stated that the encounter is probably the biggest moment of their career.
Emphasizing the importance of remaining calm in a match of such a magnanimous scale, he said:
