Cricketing world has been shocked by the announcement of the retirement from T20
Internationals by Indian cricket legends Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja. It is
not what fans and experts were expecting, but it marked the end of an era in Indian cricket
that is unequaled.
Virat Kohli, also known as the run-machine was India’s success in T20s. His batting
aggression and unrivaled consistency made him a crowd favorite. Innumerable thrilling
moments have occurred due to his ability to chase even those targets that appear
impossible and the fiery demeanor he displays while playing on field. This could be
described as an earthquake in cricket after his retirement from T20Is.
Rohit Sharma, nicknamed ‘Hitman’ for his effortless six-hitting ability and record-breaking
innings. No one can compare with Sharma who has four centuries in this format of the game
which have played a role in India’s dominance over other teams. As a leader, Sharma’s
calmness and planning genius have played a part in making India successful. By walking
away from T20s, Sharma left a gaping hole at the top order raising concerns about India’s
future batting line-up.
India’s lower order has always been buttressed by all-rounder extraordinaire, Ravindra
Jadeja, who is a crucial asset to the bowling line-up. His dynamic batting, lethal left-arm spin
and electric fielding have made him one of the adaptable cricketers in the world today. This
is going to be bad news for India as a genuine match winner gets lost in his decision.

There will be new leaders roles with next generation expected to step into huge shoes left behind.
