Jun 30, 2024

Bridgetown (Barbados), June 30 (ANI): Following India’s win in ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Indian team captain Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from the T20 format. Rohit Sharma said, “I started playing in 2007...I went to Ireland for 50 overs but soon we went to South Africa to play the T20 World Cup and we won and now this, so it is a full circle now, I am very happy with this... It is a big challenge to play all 3 formats let alone captaining it. For us and players it is difficult to adapt quickly. You have to work on the technical aspects and batsmanship. In T20, you have to play different shots from the start because I do the opening...it is also fun to play different formats...I enjoyed batting and captaincy in all the formats. Whenever I feel inside what is right, I try and do that, that has been my nature when I captained the team as well. What I feel inside is what I want to do. I don't think a lot about the past and future...I didn't think that I would retire from T20 but such a situation came and I thought it was the perfect situation for me. Nothing better than winning the cup and saying goodbye.”
