The Champions Trophy victory in 2013 was the last trophy that India had won on the global stage.
In what may turn out to be their last T20I event, Rohit, 37, and fellow opener Virat Kohli, 35, entered this competition hoping to win.
While Kohli has failed with just 75 runs in seven innings, Rohit has amassed more runs (248) than any other player in the final and is in a position to make that form matter.
A sizable group of Indian fans is anticipated for the match, as is typical of the ancient home of West Indies cricket, which should provide the ideal atmosphere.
