T20 World Cup: The Indian cricket team, led by captain Rohit Sharma, has ended the ICC trophy drought that had been going on since 2013 with the title of T20 World Cup. With this title win, the Indian team has become the second team to win the T20 World Cup twice.
With this victory, Rohit Sharma has joined the league of elite captains of Team India. Rohit Sharma has made his place in the list of Indian captains who have won the ICC trophy, which includes the name of 1983 ODI World Cup winner Kapil Dev and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who won three ICC trophies for India.
As soon as the T20 World Cup was won, three players including captain Rohit retired
However, with the T20 World Cup win, captain Rohit Sharma has announced his retirement from T20I. At the same time, former Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli has bid farewell to the T20I format. Both these players said that we now want to give a chance to the youth in this format. Rohit also said that what could be a better time than this to bid farewell to this format of the T20 World Cup trophy!
After Rohit and Kohli’s retirement, now Team India’s senior all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has also announced his retirement from T20I. Jadeja said that winning the World Cup is like a dream come true. I thank everyone with all my heart, I say goodbye to T20I.
T20I career of Rohit-Kohli and Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja has played 74 matches for Team India in T20 International. In which he has scored 515 runs and taken 54 wickets. Rohit Sharma has scored 4231 runs in 159 matches and Kohli has scored 4188 runs in 125 matches.
Rohit Sharma has won 50 T20 matches under his captaincy and has scored five centuries. Kohli has scored one century and 38 half-centuries. The sudden retirement of these three players has now left a vacancy in the team. In such a situation, the young players have a golden opportunity. However, it is not easy to fill the place of players like Rohit Sharma, Kohli and Jadeja.
