Right now, Rohit. You just took the cup home and I’m glad. But then, he is an absolute beast. He is a beast.

It goes without saying, that Rohit Sharma did lead the Indian charge with the bat in their hands, finishing as the leading run-scorer for Team India while being second in the list. His overall tally read 257 runs, 24 adrift of the ace, Rahmanullah Gurbaz who managed to amass 281 runs.

At the end of the tournament once the trophy was won, three of India’s icons called it a day in the shortest format of the game. Sharma himself, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja decided to draw curtains on what have been three incredible careers in the iconic fast lane of cricket.
