IND vs SA: Will the T20 World Cup 2024 final against South Africa be Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's last World Cup match for India? The answer is an affirmative 'Yes'.

It's very likely that Virat Kohli and Rohit Kohli would be playing their last World Cup match for India at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. It's definitely their last match in the T20 World Cup.

The next T20 World Cup is scheduled to be held in early 2026 in India and Sri Lanka. Rohit Sharma would already be approaching his 39th birthday, while Virat Kohli will be 36.

Virat Kohli has already failed to deliver in the T20 World Cup 2024 and it's unlikely he would be playing in the format for India after the T20 World Cup 2024 final against South Africa.

Rohit Sharma is also certain of leaving and making room for a youngster to carry forward the Indian T20I side. The 37-year-old is certain of leaving a format to prolong his international career.

The next ODI World Cup is scheduled for 2027 in South Africa. Neither Kohli nor Rohit have confirmed that they won't be playing in the tournament which they consider the most prestigious of all in the sport.

Rohit Sharma has gone on record to admit that winning the ODI World Cup is his biggest dream. Virat Kohli would also want to lift the trophy before retiring. Both the players will have to let go the other formats and dedicate themselves to ODI cricket if they wish to give one more shot at fulfilling their common dream.
