India skipper Rohit announced his retirement from T20Is after guiding the team to its second World Cup in the format, describing it as the perfect time to "say goodbye". This was after his long-time teammate Virat Kohli brought down curtains on his fabled career minutes after India defeated South Africa at the Kensington Oval in the final.

"This was my last game as well. No better time to say goodbye. I wanted this (trophy) badly. It's very hard to put in words," Rohit told the post-match press conference.
