SPORTS: Two of India’s greatest ever cricketers, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, have decided to bid farewell to T20 International cricket. Their announcements came shortly after India’s historic victory in the T20 World Cup. Let’s delve into the details of their retirements and their impact on Indian cricket.

Rohit Sharma, the current Indian captain, echoed similar sentiments. After India’s first ICC tournament win in 11 years, Rohit announced, “This is my last game as well, no better time to say goodbye to this format. I’ve loved every moment of this. I started my career for India playing this format, and this is what I wanted—to win the World Cup.” Rohit’s emotional farewell marks the end of an era, as he steps back from T20Is while continuing to lead in Tests and ODIs.

Virat Kohli, the former Indian captain, confirmed that the recently concluded T20 World Cup was his last in the shortest format. In the post-match press conference, Kohli expressed his emotions: “This was my last T20 World Cup, and this is exactly what we wanted to achieve. One day you feel like you can’t get a run, and then this happens. God is great. Just the occasion, now or never kind of situation.” Kohli’s contribution to Indian cricket has been immense, and his leadership will be remembered for years to come.

India won the T20 World Cup without losing a single game, ending an 11-year ICC trophy drought.

As Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma bid adieu to T20Is, Indian cricket fans will cherish their contributions forever. Their retirements mark the end of an era and pave the way for the next generation of talent to shine on the international stage.
