The T20 World Cup 2024 culminated for Team India with a resounding victory against South Africa in the final on Saturday. While Virat Kohli played an influential knock with the bat, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya delivered with the ball to help the team take the trophy home.

Soon after India ended their 11-year wait for an ICC title, Kohli announced his retirement from the shortest format of the game in international cricket.

Rohit did the same a little later, at the post-match press conference. The two heroes of Indian cricket will no longer be seen in T20I internationals, a fact that is bound to make millions of fans emotional.

If the announcement wasn't enough Virat and Rohit also produced a moment for the ages after the game, holding the T20 World Cup trophy in hand, with the Indian flag around them.
