NEW DELHI: Former India captain Rohit Sharma looked back at some of the defining moments that have shaped the storied IndiaPakistan rivalry in T20 World Cups, naming the 2007 final as his most cherished encounter against the Asian neighbours.Until the recent ICC Men's T20 World Cup fixtures, Rohit the ambassador for this edition had featured in every IndiaPakistan clash at the T20 World Cup. From making his debut as a youngster in 2007 to leading India to memorable wins over Pakistan in 2022 and 2024, his journey in this high-voltage rivalry has been significant.My favourite T20 World Cup match against Pakistan was definitely the final we played, nothing can beat that. We went on to win the World Cup. Rohit was quoted as saying by the ICC.India and Pakistan faced off twice in the inaugural 2007 edition. Before the summit clash, a group-stage match ended in a tie and was decided by the tournaments first-ever bowl-out.In that same year (2007), we also played a league game against Pakistan, which was the only match in the tournament decided by a bowl-out, and we came out on top there as well. So in 2007, both World Cup games were special, Rohit recalled.Another unforgettable chapter unfolded at the MCG during the 2022 T20 World Cup. After being dismissed early, Rohit watched from the sidelines as India scripted a dramatic comeback victory.Yeah, I was in the dressing room. Then I came out, but I got nervous and went back inside. When games are this tight, especially when youre off the field and know you cant do anything, it just takes that sense of control away from you, and I felt helpless. You actually do feel helpless watching the game unfold when you cant do anything about it, said Rohit.Chasing 160, India found themselves in deep trouble at 31/4 before an extraordinary innings from Virat Kohli turned the contest on its head.Kohli played a blinder there. That was again very, very special to watch because we were in no position to win that game, especially after how we started.But the way we finished was magnificent. It has to be one of the greatest cricket games weve ever played because of the occasion. It was a World Cup game, an important one for us to win, and to come back from that situation made it even more special, the 2024 T20 World Cup-winning skipper said.Rohit, who retired from T20 Internationals after playing 160 matches, admitted that nerves never left him throughout his career and that the feeling kept him motivated.Ive played 160 T20 Internationals for India. I dont remember a single game where I wasnt nervous. I was nervous for each and every game. That feeling gives me nervousness, and I dont think that as long as Im holding this bat, going out there and taking the field, that feeling will ever go away. It stays with me. And that feeling means you still want to go out there, play the game, and give your best, Rohit concluded.
