NEW DELHI: Star India batter Virat Kohli surprised his fans by announcing the retirement from the T20 Internationals following India’s victory in the T20 World Cup final against South Africa.
“This was my last T20 World Cup, and this is what we wanted to achieve. One day you feel you can’t get a run, then things happen. God is great, and I got the job done for the team on the day it mattered.Now or never, last T20 for India, wanted to make the most of it. Wanted to lift the cup, wanted to respect the situation rather than force it. This was an open secret, it’s time for the next generation to take over, some amazing players will take the team forward and keep the flag waving high,” Kohli said after being given Player of the Match award for his 76-run knock.
