Meanwhile, in a surprising turn of events, after Indian cricket stalwart Virat Kohli, captain Rohit Sharma also bid farewell to the T20 format after lifting the T20 World Cup trophy. India's victory in the 2007 World Cup marked the beginning of Rohit's remarkable T20I career.
In 2024, it appears that he has come full circle with this event. With the retirement from the T20 format, Rohit also said the final goodbye to the captaincy spot that he held for more than two years. Rohit announced that he was retiring from the shortest format but that he would still play for India in Test and ODI formats. Shortly after teammate Virat Kohli declared his retirement from Twenty20 international cricket, Rohit made his declaration.
"This was my last game as well," the captain said in his post-match press conference, referring to Virat Kohli's earlier announcement that he will be retiring from T20Is. "I've enjoyed it since the time I started playing this format. No better time to say goodbye to this format. I've loved every moment of this. This is what I wanted - I wanted to win the cup," and he saluted the room, to applause from the media.
