Rohit led India to glory at the T20 World Cup in 2024 -- their second world title in the T20 format.
'Today we are united in triumph. We are going to celebrate them and celebrate their victories,' said Reliance Foundation Founder-Chairperson Nita Ambani.
'All three cricket teams, the men's cricket team, the women's cricket team and the blind cricket team of India are all here under one roof, and on behalf of every Indian, we are going to honour them tonight for giving us so much joy and happiness.'
The event was graced by legends Amitabh Bachchan, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid along with members of the World Cup winning teams.
