Indian cricket is riding a golden wave, and Rohit Sharma said that it sent a strong message to the cricket world after the latest ICC title triumph. The India National Cricket Team recently lifted the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 in Ahmedabad, adding another major trophy to the cabinet.
Just a few months back, the Indian women’s team had already created history by winning their first-ever ICC Women's World Cup in Mumbai. And before that the men’s team had won the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. These back-to-back victories have sparked a strong belief that Indian cricket is entering a powerful new era and ready to challenge Australia’s historic dominance.
Rohit Sharma, who captained India to the 2024 T20 World Cup and 2025 Champions Trophy. feels the recent success is only the beginning of something much bigger.
The former Indian captain believes that the hard work of players and support staff across men’s and women’s cricket has started to pay off, and now India must continue the momentum.

Rohit’s words carry a bigger meaning when seen against the long-standing dominance of the Australian National Cricket Team. For decades, Australia has ruled world cricket, lifting World Cup trophies across formats and setting standards that other teams tried to match.
Hope we carry this momentum: Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma said at an event in Mumbai as quoted by ESPNCricinfo: “There's no secret to success; it's all about hard work. International cricketers—men's and women's—they work really, really hard to achieve what they have achieved. Of course, it's not just the players who perform on the field, but there are so many people behind the scenes as well who put in so much hard work into that success. So, a lot of people and personnel to give credit to.”
The Hitman Rohit Sharma continued, “I feel very, very happy and proud to see what we've been seeing for the last couple of years now to come out with flying colors and achieve what we have achieved; not just the men's team but also the women's team to win that World Cup in Mumbai was fantastic to watch.
And recently, now that the men's team did to win the T20 World Cup, what they did was phenomenal. And I hope this is just the start; there's no looking back from here because once you get the momentum—and we often talk about momentum in cricket—both men's and women's teams have it. All I hope is that we carry this momentum.”

Australia's historic dominance in global events
Australia's men’s side is the most successful team in the world, winning World Cup titles in 1987, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2015, and 2023. This included a world record of winning three titles in a row. They are also the first team to win every major ICC trophy after winning the T20 World Cup in 2021 and the inaugural World Test Championship in 2023 at Lord’s.
Interestingly, Australia's women’s side has built an even stronger legacy with several global titles. They have won the ODI World Cup a record seven times: in 1978, 1982, 1988, 1997, 2005, 2013, and 2022. Their domination in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup is also amazing: Australia has won six out of eight editions between 2009 and 2023.
But the recent rise of Indian cricket suggests that this balance of power could slowly begin to change. With the senior teams winning global events and young stars also lifting trophies at the Under-19 level in both men’s and women’s competitions, Rohit’s prediction should worry the rival teams.
