Rohit retires from T20Is: ‘No better time to say goodbye to this format’

Rohit Sharma wins the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup title as India captain.

The curtain falls for India captain Rohit Sharma in the shortest format of the game. Rohit announced his retirement from T20 International cricket after becoming only the second captain to lift the ICC T20 World Cup trophy.

“This was also my last (T20I) match. There is no better time to say goodbye to this format. I have enjoyed every moment of it. I started my Indian career with this format. This is what I wanted, I wanted to win the cup. I wanted it badly. Very difficult to put into words. It was a very emotional moment for me. I was desperate to win this title in my life. I am glad that we finally crossed the line,” Rohit said at the press conference after the final between India and South Africa. The 37-year-old Rohit was the highest scorer for India in the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup in the USA and the Caribbean.

Rohit Sharma retired from T20 International cricket as the leading run-getter in the format.
