Goat. King. Saviour. The Man Who Made Cricket An Emotion. 

The internet erupted with an outpouring of love for former Indian cricket team captain and Player of the Match in the 2024 T20 World Cup Final, Virat Kohli, the moment he announced his retirement from T20Is. The announcement followed India’s historic victory over South Africa in Barbados on Saturday.

The adage ‘form is temporary, class is permanent’ is often heard in the annals of cricket, and King Kohli is the living embodiment of this truth. We admire him for his attitude, his candour, and his innovative play. But above all, what truly sets him apart is the unwavering faith Indian fans have in him every time he steps onto the field. “This is exactly what we wanted to achieve,” Kohli told the presenters. “I was really grateful I was able to get the job done for the team, on the day that it mattered most.”

Kohli concludes his T20I career with an impressive tally of 4,188 runs in 125 matches, boasting an average of 48.69. His record includes one century and 38 fifties. 

His retirement from T20 Internationals is not just the end of an era; it is a testament to a career that has been nothing short of extraordinary. An athlete who salutes Indian cricket's storied past, stays true to his roots, and grooves to Bhangra beats like nobody’s watching — that’s Virat Kohli for you! And we can’t wait to see what he does next!
