India's agonising 11-year wait for a global title was brought to an end by Virat Kohli's ingenuity and Rohit Sharma's inspirational captaincy as the star-studded team outwitted eternal bridesmaids South Africa by seven runs in a see-saw final to lift its second T20 World Cup trophy here on Saturday.
Kohli, who was part of the 2011 ODI World Cup triumph, announced his retirement from the format immediately after the end of the match. He wore a detached look on his face after the win but broke down eventually. "It's time for the next generation to take over. It was an open secret and I would have announced it even if we would have lost," Kohli said.
After a string of poor performances in the tournament, Kohli came in clutch during the T20 World Cup 2024 final clash. After managing just 75 runs in the first seven innings of the competition, Kohli stepped up when it mattered the most, scoring 76 in 59 balls, with six fours and two sixes. His runs came at a strike rate of 128.81.
