IND vs SA ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Final: The renowned Indian batter Virat Kohli has declared his retirement from the Twenty20 international league. Following his victory as player of the match in the T20 World Cup 2024 final, Kohli made his decision public. Through a resolute innings of 76 runs off 59 balls, the right-hander guided India to a comfortable total. After winning the match Virat Kohli can be seen emotional during a video call with Anushka Sharma and their children.
Kohli’s Roller Coaster Innings
After winning the toss, captain Rohit Sharma made the wise choice to bat first, helping the side to a respectable score. In addition to making the Indian camp happy, the victory—which came after a 12-year wait—marked a landmark occasion in cricket history.
Kohli had a difficult innings, not looking like himself for the most part of it, but he ended it with some stunning smashes, leading India to 176/7 in the game’s opening innings. After the game, Kohli expressed his heartfelt belief that it was time for the next generation to step up and take over.
Kohli’s T20I Legacy
As the second-highest run scorer in the T20I format, Kohli ends his career. With 4188 runs to his credit, Kohli is the only player in the all-time list behind Rohit Sharma. With his first half-century of the tournament, Virat Kohli led India to 176-7 at the end of the innings. Playing in their first-ever ICC tournament final, South Africa needed 30 runs off 30 balls, but Heinrich Klaasen’s brilliant 52 off 27 balls gave the Proteas hope. When South Africa chased 177 runs, Heinrich Klaasen was slamming the spinners all over the field, and it looked like they were in trouble.
