Along with Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma is quitting international T20 cricket

India defeated South Africa by 7 runs in a dramatic final to win the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, marking a historic moment for Indian cricket. India hasn't won a T20 World Cup till its victory in 2007. Both sides gave outstanding efforts in the Barbados final match, which resulted in an exciting conclusion.

Just one hour had passed since Rohit Sharma and fellow all-star batsman Virat Kohli led India to an exciting seven-run victory over South Africa in the T20 World Cup final. Rohit Sharma had announced his retirement from international T20 cricket.

Sharma stated, "This was my last game as well," at the news conference following Saturday's championship match, which ended India's 13-year major tournament drought. "No better time to say goodbye to this format."

Since then, he has participated in every T20 World Cup competition; only Shakib Al Hasan of Bangladesh has done the same. "I've enjoyed every second of it.

Playing this format was how I began my career in India," Sharma remarked. "This is what I wanted, I wanted to win the cup and say thank you."

Sharma declared that he will still be eligible to represent India in one-day internationals and tests. India's most recent significant tournament triumph came from their 2011 hosting of the ODI World Cup.

They have since had several excruciating near-misses, the most agonizing of which being the November 50-over final against Australia played in Ahmedabad, their home ground.T

he same opponent defeated them at The Oval in the World Test Championship final last summer. Sharma remarked, "I really wanted this; it was very emotional." "I was very desperate for this in my life so I'm happy we crossed the line this time."
