Kartik Aaryan celebrated India's 2024 T20 World Cup victory, but he is upset that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have retired from T20 international cricket. In an interview with India Today, he described it as a major loss for Indian cricket. On June 29, India defeated South Africa by seven runs at the Kensington Oval, winning their second T20 World Cup since 2007.
Speaking on Team India's stunning success last night, Kartik told India Today, “I’m really happy and excited that India won the World Cup yesterday. It’s like a dream for all of us to witness this. The way Virat Kohli played in the finals and how Rohit Sharma said that he was saving it for the finals, even Suryakumar’s catch was unreal. This match was a perfect nail-biter and something which a lot of us won’t forget. Jasprit Bumrah in the end, Hardik Pandya, everyone – it was a team effort last night.”
He also talked about Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s retiring and said, “We won the World Cup, but sadly, we are losing two diamonds. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are retiring. It definitely breaks my heart and fans’ too.”
Kartik Aaryan also took to social media to congratulate Team India. He marked the team the one that refused to surrender.
India stunned everyone by winning their second ICC T20 World Cup championship with a seven-run victory over South Africa at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on Saturday. After winning the T20 World Cup, Team India members were ecstatic. Rohit Sharma collapsed to the ground, while Rahul Dravid jumped out of his chair with joy. Finally, they're world champs! Hardik Pandya was moved to tears. Following the match, Bollywood flocked to social media to congratulate the squad.
India's previous T20 World Cup victory came under the leadership of MS Dhoni in 2007, making this recent triumph a long-awaited achievement. As the nation celebrated, the absence of Kohli and Sharma in future T20I matches cast a shadow over the festivities.
