T20 World Cup Final: Virat Kohli player of the match
This was my last T20 World Cup, this is exactly what we wanted to achieve. one day you feel like you can't get a run and this happens, God is great. Just the occasion, now or never kind of situation. This was my last T20 game playing for India. We wanted to lift that cup. Wanted to Yes I have, this was an open secret. Not something that I wasn't going to announce even if we had lost. Time for next generation to take the T20 game forward. It's been long for us, waiting to win an ICC tournament. You look at someone like Rohit, he's played 9 T20 World Cup and this is my sixth. He deserves it. It's been difficult to hold things (emotions) back and I think it's going to sink in later. It's an amazing day and I'm thankful.
