Rohit is now on vacation after leading India to their second ICC Men's T20 World Cup title after the victory in the inaugural edition in 2007 and attending the Victory Parade at the Marine Drive in Mumbai and felicitation by the BCCI at the Wankhede. On Friday, he watched the semifinal matches between Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev and Novak Djokovic and Lorenzo Musetti of Italy.

He joins Indian sports stars and celebrities like Sachin Tendulkar, Ravi Shastri, Siddharth and Kaira who visited Wimbledon this year.

After winning the World Cup final, Rohit Sharma plucked grass from the field and tasted it, just like Serbian tennis legend Novak Djokovic did after winning titles at Wimbledon.
