The mission is finally accomplished! There can’t be a better stage than that. Following the path of his senior pro-Virat Kohli in the scintillating final at Barbados winning the title for the country after 17 years. Indian Skipper & Hitman Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from the shortest version of the game post lifting the elusive ICC trophy in his tenure. However, he would continue to play the ODIs and Tests.

Rohit finished the tournament as the second-highest run-scorer at a strike rate of 156.70 in perhaps the difficult conditions for batting in the USA and Caribbean. As expected he provided brisk starts to the team whenever he played and scored vital contributions in the matches against Australia and Semi-final matches against England.

The last 6 months have been A roller coaster ride for him as captain since losing the final in 50 over format. The pain of the World Cup defeat was so touchy that both Rohit and Virat only participated in the shortest version in January this year.

So perhaps the almighty gave him the right platform to retire on a winning note. Thanks to his illustrious career where he terrorized bowlers from every where with his brutal elegance. Over the years, he has shown his batting prowess especially his six-hitting ability is matched with none in this modern era.
