Several Pakistan cricket legends, including Wasim Akram and Javed Miandad, have lauded Indian cricket stars Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma for choosing the ideal moment to retire following India's victory in the T20 World Cup. The Indian team edged South Africa by seven runs in a thrilling final held in Barbados to secure their second T20 World Cup title.

"I have always admired Rohit's batting and try to catch his matches on TV. Kohli's greatness is evident—his records speak for themselves. I'm pleased Rohit could win the World Cup for his country," said Zaheer Abbas, a former batting stalwart.

Javed Miandad emphasized that both players made a wise decision to exit T20 internationals while at the peak of their careers. "Although we'll still see them in Tests and ODIs, it's fitting they left T20s on a high note," Miandad commented.

Many praised their contributions beyond just gameplay. "Kohli's discipline, professionalism, and fitness make him an ideal role model," Miandad added. Legendary pacer Waqar Younis noted both Kohli and Rohit consistently rose to the occasion, leading India to critical victories.

Jasprit Bumrah's stellar bowling during the World Cup also received accolades, marking him as a key player for India. Rashid Latif credited India's success to effective team management, particularly under Rahul Dravid, while Shahid Afridi and Mohsin Hasan Khan commended Rohit's exceptional leadership and both players' exemplary career exits.
