Virat Kohli has announced his retirement from T20 cricket after his stellar performance that propelled India to a 7-run win over South Africa in the final of T20 World Cup 2024 final at Kensington Oval, in Bridgetown, Barbados.
Kohli scored a superb 76 of 59 balls in the all-important Final and bagged the Player of the Match award.
“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, and then things happen. God is great, and I got the job done for the team on the day it mattered. Now or never, the last T20 for India wanted to make the most of it. Wanted to lift the cup, and 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”, said Virat Kohli in the post-match presentation.
On a day charged with emotion, India concluded their 11-year quest for a global trophy, defeating South Africa by seven runs in a nail-biting finish to claim the T20 World Cup title.
