Rohit, 37, and his opening partner Kohli, 35, quit Twenty20 Internationals last month after the team's victory in the World Cup final against South Africa in Bridgetown but both men will continue to play test and 50-overs cricket.
Looking back, Starc acknowledged Rohit’s exceptional performance throughout the tournament and commended him for his brilliant and strategic use of the conditions in St Lucia.
“You are an absolute stalwart of this game but you left all of your accolades and achievements at the door and walked in as our coach and came on a level where we all felt comfortable enough to say just about anything to you,” Rohit wrote on the Instagram post.
Rohit Sharma will stay on as captain of India's Test and one-day teams, the country's cricket board said, after he ended his T20 international career with a World Cup triumph.
Speaking after the title triumph, Suryakumar Yadav revealed the words from the skipper that moved the entire team.
The right-hander has scored the second-most runs of any player at Men's T20 World Cup - behind only Virat Kohli - who also announced his retirement from the format after their T20 World Cup 2024 triumph.
It was not clear when the Indian team would arrive home, with Indian media on Monday reporting they were stuck in Barbados, delayed by Hurricane Beryl.
Rohit’s bold stance and Kohli’s sacrifice bore fruit as they both have now hung up their boots in T20Is as World Cup winners.
Shortly after India's second T20 World Cup triumph, an emotional Rohit lay on the ground before walking towards the centre and tasting the soil of the Kensington Oval pitch.

“I don't think he can lose two World Cup finals in seven [six] months. He will probably jump into the Barbados ocean if he loses two finals under his captaincy in seven months,” Ganguly told PTI.
