The Indian team has won the T20 World Cup after nearly 17 years. After this victory, Indian captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli announced their retirement. Rohit Sharma currently holds the record for most runs, most sixes and most centuries in the T20 format. However, a question is constantly lingering in the minds of cricket fans that why did Rohit Sharma not announce his retirement on the field itself? Now information related to this is coming to light that why did the Indian captain not announce his retirement on the field itself.
Rohit Sharma did this because of this
Actually, Rohit Sharma was well aware that whatever be the result of the final, Virat Kohli has decided to retire. After the Indian team won, Virat Kohli announced his retirement as soon as the Player of the Match was announced. Therefore, Rohit Sharma gave Virat Kohli a chance in the award ceremony after the match and did not announce his retirement. However, soon after this, Rohit Sharma also announced his retirement during a press conference. The Indian captain also talked about his retirement and career.
Rohit Sharma said that he never thought of retiring from T20 cricket but what could be better than winning the T20 World Cup trophy. He further said that I do not take such decisions about my future, I do what feels good from within. I do not think much about the future. Even after the ODI World Cup last year, I did not think whether I would play this World Cup or not. I never thought that I would retire from T20 but the circumstances are absolutely right, so saying goodbye after winning the World Cup is a wonderful experience.
