What kind of trophy is in Rohit Sharma's hands?Before the match between the Indian team and Bangladesh, the captains of both the countries were called for a photoshoot with the tournament trophy. During this, another trophy was seen at the Naso County Stadium, which was somewhat similar to the T20 World Cup trophy. However, the color and size of this trophy was completely different from that. It was none other than the trophy of America's famous basketball league NBA (National Basketball Association). This trophy is also known as the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy. It was brought to the Naso Stadium for its promotion, where Rohit Sharma picked it up.

He jokingly said about the weight of the trophy that due to its heavy weight, such tall players come in this game. When he was questioned about this trophy, Rohit Sharma called Michael Jordan his favorite player. He also praised LeBron James and Steph Curry.

Captain Rohit Sharma and the rest of the team members have practiced hard. During this, Rohit Sharma was also seen giving tips to Shivam Dubey. The whole team looks ready for the upcoming match.
