tional highs and lows leading up to India's Champions Trophy win, and how his mindset around the game has evolved over the years. Speaking on Michael Clarke's Beyond23 Cricket Podcast, Rohit reflected on the journey. "Yeah, it was, it was," Rohit said when asked about the significance of the Champions Trophy win. "We had to go through so many lows before that tournament began. We didn't have a great home series against New Zealand and then Australia as well. So we wanted to turn things back. We wanted to bounce back."

Rohit credited the team's clarity and unity for their turnaround.

"It's just that playing with this bunch of guys who are so clear in their mind what they want to do and how they want to achieve it. It's one thing to talk about, okay, I want to go and achieve this, but how do you do that? That is the clarity everyone has in the squad," he said.

India's consistency in selection also played a role.
