POTM in World Cup final, Kohli fails to find place in ICC’s Team of the tournament
The Rohit Sharma-led outfit handed a seven-run defeat to the Proteas to claim their second T20 World Cup title, and ended India’s 11-year title drought.
“This was my last T20 World Cup, and this is what we wanted to achieve. One day you feel you can’t get a run, then things happen. God is great, and I got the job done for the team on the day it mattered,” Kohli said.

Moments after India clinched the ICC T20 World Cup, batting maestro Virat Kohli announced that the T20 World Cup was his last appearance in the shortest format.
“This was my last T20 World Cup, and this is what we wanted to achieve. One day you feel you can’t get a run, then things happen. God is great, and I got the job done for the team on the day it mattered,” Kohli said.
“Now or never, last T20 for India, wanted to make the most of it. Wanted to lift the cup, wanted to respect the situation rather than force it. This was an open secret, it’s time for the next generation to take over, some amazing players will take the team forward and keep the flag waving high,” he added.
