Virat Kohli announces Retirement by mentioning it as an open secret. “Yes I have, this was an open secret. Not something that I wasn’t going to announce even if we had lost. Time for the next generation to take the T20 game forward,” Kohli confirmed that he was making the official announcement about retiring when asked.
“It’s been a long wait for us, waiting to win an ICC tournament. You look at someone like Rohit Sharma, he’s played nine T20 World Cups and this is my sixth. He deserves it. It’s been difficult to hold things back and I think it’s going to sink in later. It’s an amazing day and I’m thankful,” Kohli said.
