00:00What a thing, goosebumps, what a thing, the greatest cricketer in the world, Virat Kohli has announced his retirement from T20 International.
00:09After today, Virat Kohli will not be seen in any T20 International, in action.
00:14But, what a full of passion, I am personally so glad, as a cricket fan, I am so glad that a great batsman like Virat Kohli,
00:25who deserved to announce his retirement at such a time, at such a stage.
00:31And T20, at such a time, when Virat Kohli has played a key role, by scoring more than 70 runs,
00:37to make his team win the T20 World Cup.
00:40Virat Kohli has announced his retirement from T20 International.
00:44I would like, as a cricket fan, to give a big round of applause to Virat Kohli, the greatest cricketer in the world.
00:53Thank you, Virat Kohli, for giving us such great moments.
00:56And regardless, whether we belong to any country, if you are a fan of cricket, you have to be a fan of Virat Kohli.
01:03And what a thing, Basit bhai, goosebumps, amazing, I mean, it was great to hear a few things.
01:09According to me, he was in a hurry.
01:11Yes, he should have played more.
01:13He should have played more.
01:14And today, I am saying a sentence, I think people will feel very bad.
01:18Yes.
01:20Virat Kohli,
01:21It's a pillow talk, Basit.
01:22Virat Kohli,
01:23It's not a pillow talk, sir.
01:24Yes.
01:25What, what?
01:26It's a serious thing.
01:27Yes, I mean,
01:28Virat Kohli is Javed Mianat of T20.
01:31Okay, right.
01:34Sir, Kamran Akmal sir, a superstar.
01:38Yes.
01:39I think in the next 20-25 years, very few people will come close to him, like his performance,
01:45like how he led.
01:46I think it was a great time when he announced his retirement after winning.
01:51And what a brilliant way, what a brilliant speech.
01:54World Cup, he wanted to make it a part of his life.
01:56Yes.
01:57He achieved it.
01:58Amazing moment, happy retirement.
02:00We will miss him in T20 cricket.
02:03Right.
02:04In one day and test matches, I think he will play for 5-6 years.
02:09I don't think he will play that much because he left T20 with such fitness.
02:14I don't think there can be a better role model for youngsters.
02:18Modern day cricket.
02:20No one.
02:21Shahid bhai, this is a filmy story, which is not filmy, but real.
02:26Such an iconic player, but unfortunately, he is playing well,
02:31he is giving the team match-winning innings,
02:33but the trophy is not in his hands.
02:35Then he goes to the World Cup, loses in the final in the last World Cup.
02:38Then he goes to the World Cup, plays a very bad World Cup.
02:40Then the team reaches the final.
02:42He plays well, becomes the man of the match,
02:44makes the team win and says, now the next generation should go.
02:47There could not have been a better ending to this story.
02:50This is the sign of greatness of any player.
02:52And when India won the 2011 World Cup,
02:55Virat Kohli said that Sachin Tendulkar should be lifted on his shoulders.
02:59Today, when Harsha Bogle told him that you should be lifted on your shoulders,
03:02he said no, Rohit Sharma should be lifted because he is the captain.
03:05What a great thing.
03:06So much greatness.
03:07In the press conference, when it will be a winning press conference,
03:10Rohit will also announce his retirement.
03:12First of all, congratulations to Shahid Bhai.
03:15He had already said that he would win or lose.
03:19You had said that Virat Kohli would win.
03:21Even if he loses, he would still do it.
03:23What a legend of the game.
03:24What a great man.
03:26And at the same time, very humble also.
03:28He has changed a lot after 2009.
03:31He has groomed himself.
03:32One thing is to play well,
03:34along with that, to speak well.
03:36Being a role model for youngsters,
03:38he is a great player.
03:40It's the end of an era.
03:42It's a pity that we won't be able to see Virat Kohli in action.
03:46I remember that scene from many years ago,
03:50when Sachin Tendulkar was in a speech,
03:52some youngsters from India were sitting there.
03:54They were saying that they won't be able to find a player like you.
03:57They were saying that only one of them will be there.
03:58And actually, Virat Kohli was sitting there.
04:00And Rohit Sharma was sitting there.
04:02And they proved that Sachin Tendulkar wasn't wrong.
04:06But again, you don't get a player like Virat Kohli in a few years.
04:12He comes after a long time.
04:13Is it so, Basit bhai?
04:14100 percent.
04:15He is a legend.
04:16He is a match-winner.
04:17He didn't become a hero by running against weak teams.
04:21He became a hero by performing against good teams.
04:24And I think, no matter how much you applaud him,
04:28it's not enough.
04:29And as Rajeev said,
04:30we talk a lot about cricket now.
04:31But a quick comment on this too.
04:32When a player becomes a superstar,
04:34you get international exposure.
04:36Wherever you speak,
04:37for millions of people,
04:39you are the ambassador of that country.
04:41So, what you are saying,
04:42how you are speaking,
04:43whether you are humble or proud in your attitude,
04:44it all matters a lot.
04:45So, Virat has done wonders in cricket.
04:48In this regard,
04:49all these grounds have also improved a lot, right?
04:52A lot.
04:53When we played the first IPL in 2008,
04:56we ourselves saw what he was doing.
04:59He has played in the U-19 World Cup.
05:01So, we felt that he is not serious about cricket.
05:04Yes.
05:05So, I think, after that day,
05:07he finished the IPL in 2009.
05:10He joined the team.
05:11After that, I think,
05:12his great Sachin,
05:14we saw how he handled himself,
05:16how he took himself.
05:18When there will be players in such a team,
05:20the youngsters who will come,
05:21they will learn.
05:22So, I think,
05:23Virat Kohli is a great asset of Indian cricket.
05:26Great Sachin Tendulkar.
05:27And he is coming on track.
05:29You see,
05:30the back-up he has made.
05:32These players are coming on track.
05:34So, that's why I left him.
05:36He knows that my system is so strong.
05:38The players are very big.
05:40Let's see a quick summary.
