On one hand, the entire country celebrated the historic moment of becoming the world champions, while on on the other hand, the fans were also left heartbroken with the news of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s retirement from the T20Is.
“One day you feel like you can’t get a run and this happens, God is great. (It is) just the occasion, now or never kind of situation. This was my last T20 game playing for India. We wanted to lift that cup,” Kohli said after the victory.
Later during the post-match press conference, Rohit said, “This was my last game as well. No better time to say goodbye. I wanted this (trophy) badly. It’s very hard to put in words.”
“This what I wanted and it happened. I was very desperate for this in my life. Happy that we crossed the line this time,” he added.
