[WATCH]- Rohit Sharma & Ravindra Jadeja Discuss ICC Appearances Ahead of 2025 Champions Trophy

Rohit Sharma, the captain of Team India, and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja were recently spotted having a lighthearted chat about their experiences in ICC events as they looked ahead to the 2025 Champions Trophy.

The two players, on their way to a photoshoot, were seen sharing the conversation in a video shared by the Indian cricket team on Instagram. During the discussion, Captain Rohit Sharma mentioned that this would be his 15th appearance in an ICC event.

“Yeh 15th hai mera. Nau T20 World Cup. Teen 50-over World Cup. Bara. Aur do Champions Trophy chaudah aur yeh pandrah wala (This is my 15th time. Nine T20 World Cups. Three ODI World Cups. Twelve. And two Champions Trophy so 14 and this is my 15th appearance),” Rohit said.

However, he quickly remembered that he had also taken part in two World Test Championship finals.

“Nahi World Test Championship bhi hai na. Toh uska do. Satrah baar bulaya unhone yeh sab karne (No World Test Championship is there too. Two of that. 17 times they have called me to do all this),” he added.

Rohit then inquired about Jadeja’s appearances in ICC events, suggesting that Jadeja would have had a similar number.

“Tera bhi toh hoga utna hi (You would also have as many appearances),” Rohit asked Jadeja.

“I did not play the 2007 and 2012 T20 World Cups,” Jadeja replied.

Rohit then reminisced about the number of T20 World Cups held so far, mentioning the year of each edition while counting them on his fingers.

In the same video, Ravindra Jadeja was also seen asking Shubman Gill about how many ICC events he had participated in.

“Tujhe puch raha hu mai kitne hue tere? (I am asking you how many appearances you have),” Jadeja asked Gill.

The ODI vice-captain initially mentioned three appearances — the 2024 T20 World Cup, 2023 ODI World Cup, and 2025 Champions Trophy — but revised it to five after Jadeja reminded him of the World Test Championship final.

“Teen. Ek T20 World Cup ke time. Ek dusra apna 2023 World Cup aur yeh teesra. Do Test Championship toh paanch (Three. One during the T20 World Cup. One the 2023 World Cup and this will be the third. Two Test Championships so five),” he said.

When Gill inquired, Jadeja, the all-rounder, responded that he has made more than 15 appearances. He also shared information with Gill about Rohit Sharma’s number of appearances.

“Mera 15 plus hai. Rohit ke pata hai kitne hai? Rohit ke nau toh sirf T20 World Cup hai. Uske 17-18 hai (I have 15 plus. Do you know how many Rohit has? Nine of his appearances are just from T20 World Cup. He has 17-18),” Jadeja replied.
