Virat Kohli retired, the former Indian cricket team captain and Player of the Match in the T20 World Cup 2024 final, announced that he would never play T20 again immediately after India’s historic win over South Africa in the title clash in Barbados on Saturday. Considered one of the best cricketers from India, “It was the right time as the new generation had to come in now,” Kohli said. For a boy from the by-lanes of Delhi who rose to rule world cricket, it was a perfect culmination of his T20I career, marked by several high points and low moments as captain.
“This was my last T20 World Cup; this is exactly what we wanted to achieve,” Kohli told the broadcasters after India ended an 11-year ICC title drought. Virat Kohli retired “Sometimes you feel like you can’t score a run and, poof, this just happens. God reigns. (It is) just the occasion, now or never kind of situation. This was my last T20 game playing for India. We wanted to lift that cup.”
Yes, I have. This was a long open secret (retirement). Not something that I wasn’t going to announce even if we had lost. Time for the next generation to take the T20 game forward,” Kohli confirmed when Harsha Bhogle asked if he was finally going to make an announcement about him closing his innings. Virat Kohli retire.
Here’s a long wait for us, waiting to win an ICC tournament. Look at someone like Rohit (Sharma); he’s played 9 T20 World Cups, and this is my sixth.
“He deserves it. It’s difficult to hold things. It’s going to sink in later. It was an awesome day, and I’m thankful,” Kohli added.

Virat Kohli being retired is one of those rare cricketers who have won now the ODI and the T20 World Cup.
This day, one feels either it runs out or else something like this happens, God is great, just some occasion, now or never kind of situation. This was my last T20 match for India, this was my last T20 match.
It’s been a long journey for us. We have been waiting to win an ICC tournament for some time now. Look at someone like Rohit Sharma – he has played in nine T20 World Cups, while this was my sixth. He truly deserves this,” Kohli said reflecting on the long wait for an ICC trophy.
