Legends lead the way as tributes pour in for India’s T20 World Cup triumph

This was also the occasion when two India stars, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, announced their respective retirements from T20I cricket. The duo finish atop the T20I run-getters list, and have a number of records to their name.

This was Kohli’s third ICC trophy title after the Men’s Cricket World Cup (2011), and the Champions Trophy (2013), whereas this was the second T20 World Cup title for Rohit Sharma, after 2007. Rohit was also a part of the Indian side that won the Champions Trophy in 2013.

Prominent cricketing personalities gave tributes to the two players, calling it the perfect finish to their T20I careers.
