Grace, class and character - Kohli is King for a reason!

Virat Kohli has announced his retirement from T20I cricket. His legacy couldn't have been honored more fittingly. Read below.

Kohli helping India win world cup in his last T20 match. Perfect fairy tale! He was out of the form throughout the tournament. Stepped in finals when India lost 3 back to back wickets. Built a partnership with Axar and Dube and accelerated in the end. Proud of you GOAT.

"This was my last T20 World Cup, this is exactly what we wanted to achieve. This was my last T20 game playing for India. We wanted to lift that cup. Yes I have, this was an open secret (retirement). Not something that I wasn't going to announce even if we had lost. Time for the next generation to take the T20 game forward."
- Virat Kohli

"Not many sportsmen get to write their own exit script, or time their departure from a game, or format with precision. Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid have done it to perfection."
- Ian Bishop

"I must admit I was a bit taken aback first to see Virat Kohli so emotional and then to announce that he has played his last T20I. This generation should consider itself lucky to have seen him in his prime. And when it counted, he showed why he is the big match player India is blessed to have."
- Harsha Bogle
