Virat Kohli's illustrious T20I career ended in a fairytale manner as he starred with the bat to help India win the recently-concluded ICC T20 World Cup

Batting first against South Africa in the final in Barbados, India were in all sorts of trouble. They were reeling at 34 for 3 inside three overs and needed their former captain to rescue the team. Well, Virat Kohli did not disappoint as he scored a fighting fifty to bail India out of trouble.

Having managed to score only 75 runs in 7 games before the final, Virat Kohli scored 76 runs in the final as India posted a competitive total of 176/7 in the allotted 20 overs. The score turned out to be a winning one as India's bowlers came up with a stunning effort to restrict South Africa to 169/8. 

The victory not only ended India's long wait for an ICC trophy but also helped Virat Kohli end his illustrious T20I career in a perfect manner. He managed to lay his hands on the T20 World Cup trophy for the first time. India's only victory in the T20 World Cup had come in 2007, a year before Virat Kohli made his debut in international cricket.

And while Virat Kohli has found it quite easy to deal with the bowlers on the field, it seems like the case is a bit different when it comes to dealing with toasters. In a video that has gone viral on social media, the former India skipper could be seen struggling with the toaster in the team hotel in Barbados.

Virat Kohli's illustrious T20I career:

Virat Kohli has retired from T20Is as one of the most decorated batters in the format. Soon after the final ended, Kohli announced his retirement from the shortest format of the game. Later, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja announced their retirements from T20Is as well.

Kohli finished his T20I career as the second-highest run-scorer of all time, behind only his teammate Rohit. The right-handed batsman scored 4188 runs in 125 T20Is with the help of one century and 38 half-centuries. He is also the all-time leading run-scorer in the T20 World Cup.
