Indian cricket is going to suffer a lot due to Virat and Rohit quitting cricket and it will not be easy to fill their place. In such a situation, former Pakistani legendary batsman Inzamam-ul-Haq has given a shocking statement. He believes that Virat's departure will not make any difference to India. Let us tell you that after winning the Player of the Match award in the final match, Kohli announced his retirement from T20 cricket. Kohli has given his reaction on this retirement while talking on a Pakistani channel.

He said, “India has worked on its team from the beginning and today the result of this is that Team India has become the champion. People from Australia worked with them and today again such a team has been formed. If you look at the Indian team now, KL Rahul and Shubman Gill are sitting out in their team and they are no less than anyone. Now it will not matter to them who is leaving because they have prepared a system in such a way, from where players are coming.”

Kohli's bat did not perform well during this entire edition of the T20 World Cup, but in the final match, his bat performed well and he scored 76 runs with the help of 6 fours and 2 sixes while facing 59 balls and played an important role in winning the World Cup for Team India. For this performance, Kohli was chosen as the Player of the Match and with this he said goodbye to T20 cricket forever.

God is great. This was my last T20 match for India. We just wanted to win the cup and if anything happened, everyone knew that this was going to be my last T20 match.”
