“They should have won more white ball trophies amongst them”- Michael Vaughan on Rohit, Kohli & Jadeja’s retirements after T20 World Cup win

Former England skipper Michael Vaughan reckons the troika of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja should have won more white ball trophies amongst them. While the trio has announced their T20I retirement, they will continue to play the ODI as well as the Test format.

While Rohit Sharma scored 257 runs in eight matches of the T20 World Cup 2024 at an average of 36.71 and a strike rate of 156.71, Kohli scored a vital knock of 76 runs off 59 balls in the all-important final against the Proteas after a disappointing run throughout the tournament. Thus, the duo once again played an instrumental role in taking India to glory.

Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma finished his T20I career as the leading run-getter in the format, with 4231 runs in 159 matches. Virat Kohli scored 4188 runs in 125 T20I matches at an average of 48.7 and a strike rate of 137.04.

On the other hand, Ravindra Jadeja scored 515 runs in 74 T20I matches at an average of 21.16 and scalped 54 wickets at an economy rate of 7.13.

Michael Vaughan said on Club Prairie Fire podcast, “They’ll all agree that it is a perfect way to go, but they should have won more white ball trophies amongst them. To think that he (Rohit) has taken another seventeen years to get another one in his hand, I think he will be the first one to admit that they should have won one or two more.”

Vaughan added that Indian cricket has enough talent to fill in the big shoes of legendary cricketers.

“What a way to go out with a win in Barbados and a trophy in your hand. Now they can sit back and play Test cricket, a bit of one-day cricket and in the IPL like MS Dhoni, play on forever. In Indian cricket, they will be replaced as there’s plenty of talent in that team.”

After the T20 World Cup win, India’s young brigade is currently taking on Zimbabwe in a five-match T20I series.
