Virat Kohli declared his retirement from the T20I format shortly after the championship, and Rohit Sharma soon followed.
Sanjay Manjrekar, a former India batter, shared a touching post following the team’s T20 World Cup victory. Taking to social networking platform X, Manjrekar credited captain Rohit Sharma, head coach Rahul Dravid, and chief selector Ajit Agarkar for the team’s victory in the event, which ended India’s 13-year drought for an ICC crown. However, Manjrekar made no mention of top batsman Virat Kohli in his post. Fans were quick to notice, and they chastised the cricketer-turned-commentator for disregarding Kohli, who was crowned ‘Man of the Match’ in the final against South Africa.
“Rohit Sharma, Rahul Dravid, and Ajit Agarkar are your individuals of impeccable integrity. So glad they had something to show in the end! “My heart goes out to them,” Manjrekar captioned the image.
