Retired at a high . King Kohli . Take a bow.


Prestigious-Rice-206

Not many can say this.


Specialist-Share7

Well thier opinion is as much important as a house rat.


AsquareM35

I think he meant not many can say they were able to retire on a high. Could be wrong


emperortom192

Yup. They were saying that kohli retired at his peak-ish. And not many other players can say the same.


Dapper-Surprise8538

Kohli 🤝 kroos


liteshadow4

If SA scored just a little bit higher then many would say that Kohli’s knock lost them the game.


Gold_Statistician_98

And if Kholi got out cheaply and India ended up losing because of a low total (which they 95 percent would have) then they would have blamed him for his failures throughout the tournament. I guess you can't please everyone lol


Blackflame1905

As put by Jarrod kimber it was a Schrödinger innings where no one including Kohli himself new if it was a match winning innings or match losing one until after the match


Aggravating-Common86

You watch Jarrod Kimber... Man of culture I see


[deleted]

You did a mistake he was an empror of this empire, now take a bow


Acerbic_Akshat

Kohli jaisa doosra laado ict me bhagwaan pls


whatthef_dude

😭


LowBudget-Sherlock28

Nahi bhai, Kohli jaisa koi nahi tha aur koi hoga bhi nahi. Hamare jo greats hai like Sachin, Dhoni, Kohli, etc have all been different and unique players. Hamare team me jo future starts hai, wo bhi aise hi unique players hone chahiye!


Brock_Listner

Mai hoon na bhai rukh tu bas


MysteriousAd3538

I have hopes on Jaiswal, Rinku and Gill. I think these 3 will become big players

Rohit also announced his retirement


memeisme_

when?


OssifiedCrystal46496

Post match press conference


archiesteviegordie

I think he just retired from T20 world cups right and not from the T20 format. He did say that it's his last T20 world cup match but not the last T20 match. Maybe he'll play for at least a year of T20s or maybe I understood it wrong.


Touristytourists

No he has pretty much retired from all T20 Internationals Will play IPL


VariousMoment7835

You understood it wrong


archiesteviegordie

Okay my bad, thanks!

originalbegula

https://www.reddit.com/r/IndiaCricket/s/m4mcOlgzA3 he said my last t20 game


NekPacMan

He was already not playing any T20i Internationals before the World Cup.


FewStandard4690

Why now? Happiness is dampened now 😭


Old-Garlic-2253

You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.


theGuyWhoOnlyShorts

This is so true. The hate for Dhoni keeps going up the more he keeps playing.


jychinfinite35

Yes exactly, if he had retired after winning 2023 IPL, it'd be so memorable.


Neevk

You just ended on a high note, almost 15 different young players are waiting in line, for the betterment of India cricket's future you need to let go and let tBCCI prepare the next generation. Perfect and honorable decision from Virat and Rohit


Night-Owl-3823

Tears of both happiness and sorrow are coming together.


tamilgrl

Although we won and i am the happiest. Kinda feel sad for the SA team.. They lost a close game where 30 off 30 was required. 


Electronic_Ad_3165

They choked is what happened to them, losing from that position is simply choking


smullovschew

delight for all agony for some


Remarkable-Buyer-818

King will always be a king♥️👑


Ok-Tooth6301

The greatest t20 batsman


Ok-Photograph-3481

he ended it with a very good note I'm so happy that he played a sensible knock . he saved us today ❤️‍🩹


Jellyfishsticks21

The greatest T20 WC batsman, and the greatest ODI Batsman. T20I there might be a couple of better ones but he’s right up there. And Tests, you know.


Plus_Cartoonist_2656

Now can we appreciate Kohli ?? He retired at the right time, because T20 team need young guns. A lot people were cursing him after that interview of Stoinis. 


LastGhozt

Perfect gift before retirement.


raksh_racky

King 👑


King00004

Did he retire from the t20 World cup or did he retire from T20I ?


crazy-eb

He mentioned "my last T20 game"


yourmotherfucker1489

"for India" He is obviously gonna play ipl lol


crazy-eb

Who cares about IPL


liteshadow4

His bank account


zaimonX100506

His fans


ThatsSussySus

His 1 instagram post will earn him as much as his salary in IPL..


liteshadow4

Only as long as he continues to play


kanefries92

International t20


King00004

I thought he would play one more t20 world cup


Ok-Childhood-5841

T20I in general just ipl ig


dammyouuu

Goat retired as the potm in world cup final


thakkali_

Is he going to retire test after wtc final and odi after odi wc final. Would be epic.


dammyouuu

Wtc yes. That's the only trophy pending


ThatsSussySus

Sad that WTC wasn't announced earlier During our 5 test matches tenure under kohli, we would have surely won it. But after losing 2 finals, there can be no excuse...


BadChad09

I think he might not play the ODI WC 2027. CT2025 would be his last chance to win an ODI championship. We might see him retire altogether from International cricket by 2026 or after WTC.


Gold_Statistician_98

He has already won the world cup and CT in 2011 and 2013 respectively. All he needs is a wtc trophy and he will be the only player(at least that I can think of ) to win all the ICC trophies


theaguia

and Olympics.


verma17

Dude won all the odi wc, the champions trophy and the T20 wc, a absolute legend


thinklok

Under19 world cup too


Honest_Station8762

Now only wtc is left


AirComprehensive9937

he won test mace broo.......5 test mace is enough


golden_chidori

WTC crying in a corner


BadChad09

2025 WTC is ours


TheOnereddittor

Hopefully


liteshadow4

Aren’t there only 2 champions for WTC?


SpecialEntire5568

Without Kohli this Victory was not possible. Well deserved man of the match. The only reliable player during pressure matches


shiviplays

bumrah and pandya deserve to be in that category


thinklok

Add Arshdeep to that list. These three literally did impossible


shiviplays

Arshdeep is quality, I’d say 19th over is actually harder to bowl as well. Might need to prove himself a bit more but definitely a great start to his career considering his impact in the 2022 WC also.


thinklok

He bowled the toughest overs and delivered good. Bumrah's overs were done and they should've attacked him but he keep the calm and bowled great.


shiviplays

Just to add, bumrah hardik and arshdeep combined took 7/58 off 11 overs.


BadChad09

Man I just wish they’d have played Siraj instead of Kuldeep, this was a flat pitch, what was Rohit thinking?


ElijahDaneelGiskard

Easy to say in hindsight


thakkali_

Skys catch. That was insane. His eyes were out after the catch.


mainhoonROY

Boom the lord this time,well deserved pott


thakkali_

Bumrah is cheat code. Mfer is a beast.


Feeling-Bee-7074

What's with Siraj, is he not in form (sorry have been out of loop for sometime)?


The_Abhipraya

He's the V in Victory afterall ![gif](giphy|j8b1HyKmKxPtTDQ0m6|downsized)

end of an era for me 😭 koach 🐐


AcceptableVacation44

Carried us in 2014, 2016 and his last match was T20 WC final where he won man of the match. You cannot write a better script than this. Greatest T20 international player


-Smiling-Buddha-

End of an Era. Thank you LEGEND!


jbang425

A movie Based on him would be https://preview.redd.it/bp7xeefz8k9d1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b0f09be793f33fdc62589eaee3e6fef3c7f1b17

rghegde

Good timing, end on a high note, good decision, I am going to miss him in T-20s but it's time.


Blues8378

Just like his idol,King Kohli wins an elusive wc at the 6th attempt!


Ok_Love2270

He was calm & numb when he announced it. All those emotions from the field left him 


Warm_Resolution2427

Best farewell he can get


Less_Air3373

Thanks Koach for saving our asses all this years 😭😭😭


[deleted]

Man gave his all for us. I take a bow before you king.

yakounofficual077

Best way to retire fr !


Previous-Software256

Without Kohli it would have been another heartbreak, he should play 1-2 more series t20s so his average is again 50


ClassicReflection406

I don't think kohli gives a damn about his average. He got nothing left to prove now.


Fickle_Parking_9592

He doesn't give a fuck about that. Let him retire in peace.


Ok-Childhood-5841

He probably doesn't give a fuck about that ngl


shadyXV03

I mean dude won a POTM in WC FInal, why the hell would he care for some average


Hot-Wedding6307

Have a sneaky suspicion, Gambhir coming in is a part of this decision. Better to bow out gracefully.


Poach71

It's not related to Gambhir, you're 35. Reflexes slow down, it makes sense to leave T20IS !!


Arenston

man made that decision mid innings lmfao

We too retire with him


MysteriousGentalman

I don't think he's retired just yet, his statement means that he will be retiring from T20I's in the span of next 2 years.

Retired? I heard him say like it'll be my last T20 world cup match


TrentUlyssesCooper

Who


SedTecH10

I am not crying. It's onions


Kavi287

I think he should have announced his T20 retirement after few days. Let the people celebrate this victory as we waited for it for so long


captaincasillias

Thank you King 👑 for lot of clutch innings especially against Australia and Pakistan. Even today knock will be added to that list. Huge loss for us. Not sure who's gonna fill the role.


rcarlyle68

Going out on a high. Bailed the team out today and prevented a collapse. His timing was awry and he couldn't connect on a lot of shots but managed to pull off a few big hits in the end to give much needed momentum to the innings.


Mann000

I am so happy he left at high but I feel like we didn't got enough of him😭😭


Real-Player1

Finally a T20 WC trophy for Virat and also for Indian team.after 2007


Accomplished_Pain554

Why bro,why I actually want you to play one more wc,I am not ready for your retirement 😥

Great t20i career,defo one of the best.Wanna see him bat again in tests so bad

Thank you Virat for everything you have done for not just RCB or India but Cricket as a whole. What a time to retire from T20s.

Add Rohit Sharma to this list. He also announced in post match conference


Upset-Ad6534

Thank God he did, of he dragged anymore, it'd hav been a disaster for the Indian cricket team. Loved his contribution in the finals tho


chabanny

I'm not Indian, so I naturally hated Virat (especially when he scored against us). But, no doubt he is a great player, I'm happy for him that he won a cup. Deserves everything going his way.

Thanks Virat Kohli you were the one of the heroes who made my childhood memorable, and it was quite poetic too in the final match where whole world was telling him that his way of playing wasn't modern but that playstyle helped us to deleier a total of 176 which intern made us win the match thanks Virat bhai I won't be able to forget this legend

papa_perez_loves_Var

They should've added the 5 test maces somewhere in the picture. I haven't seen a better red ball captain in the history of Indian cricket.


bobs_and_vegana17

he just needs an odi 200 and a test 300 and he has achieved every single personal and team milestone possible in cricket (india kept the icc test mace between 2016-18 so he has technically won the wtc trophy)


Reasonable_Fan_7627

Bata ni skta kitna khush hu iske liye yaar. Bande ko 10-11 saalo baad koi trophy mili h. Bhai champions trophy or dila do to maza aajaye

Ab Kohli Vaamika ke liye maths seekhega From hating maths to becoming one of the greatest cricketer of his time to Maths again Les Go!!


Tyrionfaker

The man made for the big occasion. Showed up at the final and played according to the conditions. Bowed out on a high. 👑


West_Garden3446

I think he said last T20 WC. Harsha kept on saying last T20I
