Rohit highlighted the strong ties between the two countries in his speech and praised the vibrant culture of the nation. "India and Australia. We go back a long way, whether it’s sports, whether it is trade relations," the Indian captain said.
"Over the years, we have enjoyed coming to this part of the world, playing cricket, and enjoying a variety of the culture in the country. And obviously, Australia is one of the challenging places to come and play cricket because of the passion people have, the competitiveness that every player possesses," the 37-year-old added.
"Which is why for us, it's always been a great challenge to come here and play cricket," Rohit said.
