The ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2024 might be the final edition for some of the format's finest players. Stalwarts like Trent Boult and David Warner have already confirmed that this will be their last World Cup season. The likes of Kane Williamson, Quinton de Kock, Shakib al Hasan, Andre Russell, Mohammad Nabi, and Matthew Wade might also be playing in their final T20 World Cup.

India remained unbeaten in the group stage to reach the Super 8 stage of T20 World Cup 2024. Based on the team's overall form and the presence of veteran players, it appears that the 'Men in Blue' have a strong chance of making it to the final and ending India's 11-year ICC trophy drought.

Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravindra Jadeja Likely Playing Their Last T20 World Cup

Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravindra Jadeja, regarded as some of this generation's finest talents in T20 format, might be playing their final T20 World Cup. While the trio may continue to play T20 cricket even after the 2024 edition, significant changes in Team India are expected before the next T20 World Cup in 2026, which will be held in India and Sri Lanka.

Virat Kohli: India's batting icon Virat Kohli ended IPL 2024 as the highest run-getter and was also the top scorer in three of the last four World Cups. Despite being 35 years old, Kohli remains in excellent shape with no questions about his fitness. However, he might consider stepping away from T20 International cricket to extend his ODI and Test career and to provide rising talents with opportunities to shine.

Rohit Sharma: Senior India opener and skipper Rohit Sharma will be 39 by the time the T20 World Cup 2026 arrives, and he has struggled for runs in this year's World Cup. It is highly possible that the Indian captain might decide to retire from white-ball cricket (both T20Is and ODIs) to focus entirely on Test cricket. Rohit aims to lead India to victory in the T20 World Cup 2024, hoping to end his captaincy stint on a high note by securing an ICC trophy for the national team after 11 long years.

Ravindra Jadeja, renowned as one of the best all-rounders and fielders across formats, could be participating in his final T20 World Cup. The 'age-factor' is likely a significant reason, alongside the emergence of talented young Indian all-rounders eager to make their mark in the national team.
