Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli ended their T20I careers on a high as India clinched the T20 World Cup 2024 title after defeating South Africa in the summit clash. Rohit led the Indian cricket team by example as he played a number of important knocks in the competition while Kohli saved his best for the final as he slammed a gritty half-century. In the aftermath of the win, they both announced their retirements from T20Is but not before etching their names in Indian cricket folklore. However, things were not as straightforward just one year ago where there were doubts over whether the two star cricketers will continue playing in the shortest format of the sport. However, according to a report, early calls on Virat and Rohit's future with the side ultimately led to India's massive success in the T20 World Cup 2024.
T20 World Cup-winning Indian cricketer Kuldeep Yadav met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath at his official residence in Lucknow on Monday.

Wrist-spinner Yadav, who hails from Kanpur, said on July 6 the triumph was "an unreal experience" for him and expressed hope that he would be a part of such successes in the future as well.
Team India's historic T20 World Cup 2024 triumph was the last match for Rahul Dravid, as the head coach of the side.

But, not many believed that Dravid would continue to coach the Indian team after the heartbreaking loss in the ODI World Cup final last year. But, it was a phone call from skipper Rohit Sharma that changed everything for Dravid.
Former India captain Virat Kohli on Monday thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his encouraging words for him when the PM called the Indian team following its triumph in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in Bridgetown, Barbados, on Saturday night. Prime Minister Modi spoke over the phone with all members of the Indian team that defeated South Africa by seven runs, talking them up for the roles they played in the country winning their second T20 World Cup title. Virat Kohli top-scored with 76 as India scored 176/7 in 20 overs and then restricted South Africa to 169/8. Soon after India's triumph, Kohli announced his retirement from T20I cricket.
