"I'm not going to retire from this format, just t꧅o make sure that no rumours are spread going forward," he told reporters at a press conference.
"The crowd have been magnificent. It's not our home ground, but they've made it𓄧 our h𓃲ome ground.
"When they come out and get behind the team, ꦦit makes a huge difference.
"We🅺've played some really good cricket throughout the tournament. To come out here and win is great⛦."
Rohit also hailed India's spinners, who produ🔯ced 26 wickets throughout the tournamen♑t, including four during the final.
"Not just this game, but from the beginning, I thought our spinners in particular - there is so much expectation when you play on𒁏 a pitch like this - but they never disappointed," he added.
"We used that to our advantage. We played some very good cricket and our bowling was very consistent.ꦛ"
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli saluted his tea🎉m-mates and said the future was bright for India's teams.
"We wanted to win a big tournament, a༒nd that's what we've ended up doing," he said.
"It's an amazing feeling, lovely to be playing with such amazing youngsters. So much talent in the dressing room, and they're taking In💯dian cricket forward in the right direction.
"We're only happy to help and share ouཧr experience and try to make an impact when we get a chance. These guys are stepping up in a massive way and that's why we're such a strong team."
