Rohit Sharma, the captain of India, declared on Sunday that he would be retiring from Twenty20 international cricket after leading his team to victory in Barbados.
Shortly after Virat Kohli hung up his boots from the game’s shortest format on Saturday, the captain announced this news to the media.
Rohit, who was instrumental in India’s victorious campaign, declared that he would keep playing for the country in Tests and ODIs.
“It was also my last (T20I) game,” Rohit said at the press conference following the game. There is no better moment to bid this format farewell. I have enjoyed every second of it. My career in India began with me playing this format. I wanted to win the cup; that was my goal. This was something I really wanted. very challenging to describe. For me, it was an extremely sentimental time. In my life, I yearned for this title terribly. I’m glad we finally overstepped the mark.”
His announcement came on the heels of India’s second T20 World Cup title, a victory that brought immense joy and pride to the nation.
