Indian cricketer Kapil Dev praised Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, saying that they are very important for any cricket game. Dev's words come after Kohli and Sharma announced their retirement from T20 internationals following India's T20 World Cup win. Kapil Dev said "No one can take Virat and Rohit's place in the Indian team,They have been huge servants of Indian cricket, and it was a happy farewell for them." Kapil Dev compared their impact to legends like Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni, highlighting their big contributions to the team's success. Kohli struggled at first in the tournament but did very well in the final, scoring 76 runs and winning Player of the Match. Rohit was India's top scorer in the competition with 257 runs. Even though they retired from T20Is, both players will still play in ODIs and Tests. For the upcoming series against Sri Lanka, Rohit will likely play the ODIs, while Kohli might take a break. The news shows that Indian cricket is changing, but it also says how great Kohli and Sharma are. They did very well in the World Cup and are some of the best players.
