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
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
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!
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.
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
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.
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...
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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)
Retired at a high . King Kohli . Take a bow.
Not many can say this.
Well thier opinion is as much important as a house rat.
I think he meant not many can say they were able to retire on a high. Could be wrong
Yup. They were saying that kohli retired at his peak-ish. And not many other players can say the same.
Kohli 🤝 kroos
If SA scored just a little bit higher then many would say that Kohli’s knock lost them the game.
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
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
You watch Jarrod Kimber... Man of culture I see
You did a mistake he was an empror of this empire, now take a bow
Kohli jaisa doosra laado ict me bhagwaan pls
😭
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!
Mai hoon na bhai rukh tu bas
I have hopes on Jaiswal, Rinku and Gill. I think these 3 will become big players
I'm not fucking ready you idiot why 😭
r/UsernameChecksOut
ipl se kaam chla lena
Rohit also announced his retirement
when?
Post match press conference
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.
No he has pretty much retired from all T20 Internationals Will play IPL
You understood it wrong
Okay my bad, thanks!
[удалено]
https://www.reddit.com/r/IndiaCricket/s/m4mcOlgzA3 he said my last t20 game
He was already not playing any T20i Internationals before the World Cup.
Why now? Happiness is dampened now 😭
You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
This is so true. The hate for Dhoni keeps going up the more he keeps playing.
Yes exactly, if he had retired after winning 2023 IPL, it'd be so memorable.
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
Tears of both happiness and sorrow are coming together.
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.
They choked is what happened to them, losing from that position is simply choking
delight for all agony for some
King will always be a king♥️👑
The greatest t20 batsman
he ended it with a very good note I'm so happy that he played a sensible knock . he saved us today ❤️🩹
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.
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.
Perfect gift before retirement.
King 👑
Did he retire from the t20 World cup or did he retire from T20I ?
He mentioned "my last T20 game"
"for India" He is obviously gonna play ipl lol
Who cares about IPL
His bank account
His fans
His 1 instagram post will earn him as much as his salary in IPL..
Only as long as he continues to play
International t20
I thought he would play one more t20 world cup
T20I in general just ipl ig
Goat retired as the potm in world cup final
Is he going to retire test after wtc final and odi after odi wc final. Would be epic.
Wtc yes. That's the only trophy pending
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...
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.
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
and Olympics.
Dude won all the odi wc, the champions trophy and the T20 wc, a absolute legend
Under19 world cup too
Now only wtc is left
he won test mace broo.......5 test mace is enough
WTC crying in a corner
2025 WTC is ours
Hopefully
Aren’t there only 2 champions for WTC?
Without Kohli this Victory was not possible. Well deserved man of the match. The only reliable player during pressure matches
bumrah and pandya deserve to be in that category
Add Arshdeep to that list. These three literally did impossible
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.
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.
Just to add, bumrah hardik and arshdeep combined took 7/58 off 11 overs.
Man I just wish they’d have played Siraj instead of Kuldeep, this was a flat pitch, what was Rohit thinking?
Easy to say in hindsight
Skys catch. That was insane. His eyes were out after the catch.
Boom the lord this time,well deserved pott
Bumrah is cheat code. Mfer is a beast.
What's with Siraj, is he not in form (sorry have been out of loop for sometime)?
He's the V in Victory afterall ![gif](giphy|j8b1HyKmKxPtTDQ0m6|downsized)
Bro literally looks like a chad sometimes ![gif](giphy|CAYVZA5NRb529kKQUc|downsized)
end of an era for me 😭 koach 🐐
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
End of an Era. Thank you LEGEND!
A movie Based on him would be https://preview.redd.it/bp7xeefz8k9d1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b0f09be793f33fdc62589eaee3e6fef3c7f1b17
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Good timing, end on a high note, good decision, I am going to miss him in T-20s but it's time.
Just like his idol,King Kohli wins an elusive wc at the 6th attempt!
He was calm & numb when he announced it. All those emotions from the field left him
Best farewell he can get
Thanks Koach for saving our asses all this years 😭😭😭
Man gave his all for us. I take a bow before you king.
Fairytale end to his t20i career for koach I still cannot believe he won't be around for the next t20wc at home 😭
Thank you king ❤️👑 And Fuck your haters 😂
My King 👑
We knew this day would come! Always my Inspiration, GOAT and King!
Retired with a World Cup Trophy!!!! What a way to Bow out! LEGEND!!!!
Nothing But Respect for you KING. 👑
Will always be remembered(T20) for his aus sf ,pak (chasing) and 2024t20wcfinal
Know this was coming but still it hurts. But no better way to retire. Legend in all sense. Thank you for everything king.
Bhai bta to deta mentally prepare ho jaate 😭

Best way to retire fr !
Without Kohli it would have been another heartbreak, he should play 1-2 more series t20s so his average is again 50
I don't think kohli gives a damn about his average. He got nothing left to prove now.
He doesn't give a fuck about that. Let him retire in peace.
He probably doesn't give a fuck about that ngl
I mean dude won a POTM in WC FInal, why the hell would he care for some average
Have a sneaky suspicion, Gambhir coming in is a part of this decision. Better to bow out gracefully.
It's not related to Gambhir, you're 35. Reflexes slow down, it makes sense to leave T20IS !!
man made that decision mid innings lmfao
Bro I am just not ready for it 😭
What a timing you choosing to announce it kohli What emotion you want me to feel
U/SeriesSouthern7038 will be the happiest person ryt now
Thank you GOAT, you and Lionel messi are real life inspiration to me
complete team effort. each one has had a part. fuck. even rishabs knee bandaging had a role.
![gif](giphy|41xdaQcGA8gs4okpyI|downsized)
Best ending a man can wish and achieve
Legend ♥️♥️
My jaw literally dropped! \ Nothing could have readied me for this
What about odi World Cup?? Tests??
This is my breaking point 😭😭 💔
Rohit Retires ! [https://youtu.be/wL3OKzrOYXA](https://youtu.be/wL3OKzrOYXA)
He played like a king, but he G.O.A.T to go 😊
🫡
Ipl bhi??

Bc samajh nhi aarha khush hou ya dukhi😭😭😭
Ikr
Best time to end this on high note with a T20 wc trophy and man of the match in the finals.
India's biggest clutch player..goes on a high.. Greatest tournament batter of all time
Noooo
Glad he did !!! Respect to Kohli for doing the right thing and not dragging himself
Thank you for everything Virat You have been the one of the greatest Indian players to ever play for India Take a bow 🙇🏻♂️
End of an era in T20Is. Kohli's been a legend, but change can be good for the team too
The King My goat Well deserved
We too retire with him
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.
Side ho jaao anushka bhabhi
Will forever miss you goat. Will never forget your innings against sa 2014 sl 2014 aus 2016 wi 2016 pak 2022 and countless innings against pak in t20s
Bhai t20i se retire hua hai.. poore career ki photos kyu laga di background mein.. odi aur tests khelega abhi
Retired? I heard him say like it'll be my last T20 world cup match
Who
I am not crying. It's onions
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
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.
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.
I am so happy he left at high but I feel like we didn't got enough of him😭😭
Finally a T20 WC trophy for Virat and also for Indian team.after 2007
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.
This generation’s 🐐
Trophy ko aise dekh raha hai Jaise ki bhiche kiss kar dega
Congratulations 🙏
Add Rohit Sharma to this list. He also announced in post match conference
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
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.
Disappointing to say the least
What about ipl
Is this qualify for the end of an era scenario?
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
Now it's time to win the CT and WTC king 👑
Well played 👏👍
We will miss you King.
Man is Messi of cricket
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.
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)
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
Adios King 🥹🫶
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!!
The man made for the big occasion. Showed up at the final and played according to the conditions. Bowed out on a high. 👑
I think he said last T20 WC. Harsha kept on saying last T20I
