Bridgetown, June 30 – On Saturday, at Kensington Oval, India overcame South Africa in the Men’s T2O World Cup final by a thrilling 7 runs. Following his game-winning innings of 76, stylish player Virat Kohli declared his retirement from T20I.
After the game, Kohli remarked, “This was my last T20 World Cup, and this is what we wanted to achieve.” “Things happen after you feel like you can’t run one day. God is awesome, and on the day that counted, I completed the task for the team. Last Twenty Twenty for India, wanted to make the most of it now or never. Rather of putting pressure on the situation, I wanted to lift the cup out of respect. It’s time for the next generation to take over; some exceptional players will lead the team and keep the flag flying high. This was an open secret.
After struggling on 32 for 3, talisman batsman Virat Kohli came up with a 59-ball 76 to stop his poor run and help India record a competitive 176/7. Six boundaries and two maximums were broken by Kohli.
In response, South Africa was clearly visible in their pursuit of the total. However, India’s victory to end an 11-year worldwide trophy drought was fueled by Hardik’s dismissal of Heinrich Klaasen, which allowed them to restrict South Africa to 169/8.
“This is my sixth T20 World Cup; Rohit has been in nine. He is deserving of it. I’m glad and modest right now, and I bend my head. In the previous several games, I wasn’t very confident. It’s been challenging, and the feelings in the game… It’s challenging to hold things in. “The feelings will surface later,” Virat Kohli said in closing.
