Barbados: Two of Indian cricket's all-time greats, skipper Rohit Sharma and superstar Virat Kohli, announced their retirement from T20 Internationals after playing monumental roles in the team's second world title conquest in the format here.
Kohli was the first to declare his decision after being adjudged player of the match for his sublime 76 in the seven-run win over South Africa in the final here.
Soon after, Rohit also announced that having achieved what he came for, it was time to step aside.
"This was my last T20 World Cup and this is exactly what we wanted to achieve. This is an amazing game.
I was telling Rohit (Sharma) when we went out to bat, I was like, one day you feel like you can't get a run and then you come out and then things happen.
God is great," the 35-year-old Kohli told host broadcasters Star Sports after bagging the player of the match award. (With Agency inputs)
