Virat Kohli Announces Retirement from T20 Cricket After Stellar World Cup Final

Bridgetown, Barbados: In a stunning announcement, Virat Kohli declared his retirement from T20 cricket following his outstanding performance that led India to a 7-run victory over South Africa in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024 at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados. Kohli’s remarkable innings of 76 off 59 balls earned him the Player of the Match award, capping off a memorable tournament.

Reflecting on his decision, Kohli said, “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.”
