VIRAT KOHLI ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT
Virat kohli said, "This was my last t20 World Cup, this is exactly what we wanted to achieve. One day you feel like you can't get a run and this happens, god is great. Just the occasion, now or never kind of situation. This was my last t20 game playing for India. We wanted to lift that cup. wanted to Yes I have, this was an open secret.
Not something that I wasn't going to announce even if we had lost. Time for the next generation to take the t20 game forward. It's been a long wait for us, waiting to win an ICC tournament. You look at someone like Rohit, he's played 9 t20 World Cups and this is my sixth. He deserves it. It's been difficult to hold things (emotions) back and I think it's going to sink in later. It's an amazing day and I'm thankful."
Virat kohli hit his first fifty of the competition as india managed to amass 176 runs on the board. After Rohit and rishabh were sent in early, he anchored through. If the outcome had turned out otherwise, many could have questioned his intentions, but for the time being, it will be hailed as a superb knock by the guy who understands precisely how to accelerate in this format. Axar patel and shivam dube have made major contributions to India.
