Kohli and Sharma's Epic Exit: A Triumph Beyond Words

Gautam Gambhir expressed his admiration for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma who retired from T20Is after securing a World Cup win. Gambhir, alongside R Ashwin and Atul Wassan, praised their illustrious careers and looked forward to their continued contributions in Tests and ODIs.

In a poignant turn of events, Gautam Gambhir, who is the frontrunner to succeed Rahul Dravid as India's head coach, lauded Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma for concluding their T20 International careers on a high note—a World Cup victory. Gambhir congratulated both players, highlighting the narrative as even better than a pre-written script.

'They have retired with the World Cup win, and probably better than any script that was written. Both players are great. They have done a lot for Indian cricket, and congratulate them and wish them all the best,' Gambhir told PTI videos.

Rich tributes were also paid by R Ashwin and Atul Wassan, who reflected on the stellar contributions of Kohli and Sharma. Ashwin dubbed Kohli a 'myth' while recounting memorable knocks, and Wassan emphasized the need for nurturing the next generation of cricketers as India's focus shifts towards future World Cups. BCCI joint secretary Devajit Saikia applauded the victory's long-term impact on Indian cricket's development.
