Following the retirement announcement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma from T20 international cricket, Indian team vice-captain Hardik Pandya expressed heartfelt sentiments. "We`ll miss them greatly, but this victory is our best tribute to them. Rohit and Virat, true giants and legends of Indian cricket, deserve this immensely. Playing alongside them for years has been incredible. This farewell means a lot to me personally—it`s a dream come true. Words can`t capture my emotions. Amid challenges, I`ve always believed in responding with grace. People may talk, but I know who I am. This win is not just ours, it`s theirs too," shared an elated Hardik Pandya.
