India spinner Kuldeep Yadav feels that the decision of senior players Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, and Virat Kohli to retire from T20I cricket is a personal one. He believes that their absence will provide opportunities for young players. The T20 World Cup final brought mixed emotions for Indian fans, with joy for winning the title after 13 years and sadness for the retirement of the star players.
When announcing his retirement, Kohli expressed that it was time for the younger generation to take over. Kuldeep shared similar sentiments, stating, “It’s their personal choice. They have contributed a lot to Indian cricket. I hope young players will now get chances to shine. Winning the T20 World Cup and then retiring is a great achievement.”
During the tense final moments of the match against South Africa, India’s bowlers, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, and Hardik Pandya, successfully defended a challenging target, leading India to victory. Kuldeep praised the team’s determination, saying, “We were determined to win the World Cup, and we achieved our goal.”
Kuldeep remained secretive about his rumored marriage, stating, “There’s still time for that. You will know when the time is right.” The victorious Indian team received a warm welcome in Delhi and celebrated their success with a victory parade in Mumbai.
The players were also awarded a prize money of Rs 125 crore by the BCCI officials. This unedited story has been published from a syndicated feed.
