Rohit and Kohli end T20I career on a high

Both Rohit and Kohli ended their T20I career for India on a high with the T20 World Cup win. Kohli said that it was time for young talent to take the team forward after getting his Player Of The Match award.

"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," Kohli said after winning the T20 World Cup 2024.

Rohit, on the other hand, said he felt it was the right time for him to step away from the format with the trophy win.

"That was my last game as well. Honestly, I have enjoyed it since the time I started playing this format. There is no better time to say goodbye to this format. I have loved every moment of it. I started my India career playing this format. This is what I wanted to do. win the Cup and say (goodbye,)" said Rohit.

Both Kohli and Rohit are expected to continue playing both ODIs and Tests for India.
