ROHIT SHARMA, AS EXPECTED, HANGS UP HIS BOOT FROM T20 INTERNATIONALS! Skipper signs off in style! Two G.O.A.T cricketers of the Men in Blue have had their moments in T20Is and have cheerfully said goodbye!
TEAM INDIA, THE CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD! Second T20 WC Title for the Men in Blue! End of an 11-year-old drought for ICC silverware! End of a 13-year-old drought for an ICC World Cup. End of a 17-year-old thirst for a T20 WC! Rohit Sharma was there when India won the inaugural title in South Africa in 2007. He was a rookie then but now has led the team from the front to give the crores of Indians joy for a lifetime!
End of Rahul Dravid's coaching career, a fitting farewell to the coolest man in the world.End of Virat Kohli's T20I career! What a way to end it! What a stage to hang your boots up in the T20Is! He finishes as a World Cup winner and finishes it with a POTM performance! King Kohli now has all three white-ball trophies in his cabinet! A last jewel in his crown for the King! He is dancing to the music along with the rest of the players. The Indian players are in a circle and carry Dravid before celebrating him by throwing up and catching him a few times.
Rohit stood up with his aggressive batting. Pant with his crazy approach across departments on the field. SKY putting up his stylish batting display. Hardik Pandya with his all-round prowess. Shivam Dube is turning up at a crucial moment. Jasprit Bumrah showing his class throughout. Arshdeep Singh showing his value. Siraj stepping up when given a chance. Kuldeep pulled off his magic, while Axar Patel, a player who has repaid the trust, kept on him. Jadeja has also given a couple of moments to cherish! Then comes the big man for the occasion. A player who has struggled to even buy a run throughout the competition but rose tall on the big game. Virat Kohli played a gem of an innings and saved his best for the final.
Credit goes to South Africa as well. Aiden Markram, the man who was yet to see defeat, leading Proteas in the World Cups, met India, a spirited India who came on top in the game of nerves!
For now, it's time to enjoy the moment. It's time to sign off from a wonderful tournament held in the USA and the Caribbean Islands. AkshayaKrishna Polya here, a proud text commentator, bidding adieu on behalf of my coolest and most hardworking co-commentators Ajay Pal Singh, Akshay Bhide and Deepak Prakash, who, alongside our scorer/analyst Bishal Mandal, presented each and every moment live in front you! We will meet again in another game! Until then, it is cheers!
