Virat Kohli is named the Player of the Match for his brilliant knock of 76 off 59 balls.

And during his conversation with the broadcaster, the Indian batter drops a bomb of sorts: he confirms that he will retire from T20Is.

“I talked to Rohit and said that one day, it feels like you can’t get a run and then things happen. God is great and I got the job done for the team on the day it mattered. It’s my last T20 for India. This was an open secret and it’s time for the next generation to take over.”

“Rohit has played nine T20 World Cup and this is my sixth. He deserves it. I haven’t been confident in the last few games, but very grateful and humble right now. It’s difficult to hold things back, the emotions will come later.”
