Meanwhile, Both Sharma and Virat Kohli, who also announced his retirement from T20Is, had refrained from playing the format since India's 2022 T20 World Cup semifinal exit. Their return for the 2024 edition culminated in Sharma's impactful performance, finishing as the tournament's second highest run-scorer with 257 runs at a strike rate of 156.70.
