Rahul Dravid described Virat Kohli’s next goal as he bid farewell as India’s head coach.
Leaving India’s head coach Rahul Dravid, who is known for being a no-nonsense taskmaster, gave star batsman Virat Kohli a task on his last day of work and just hours after his team became the T20 World Cup winners. One red left to go, and all three whites were irritated. In a clip from the Indian team’s celebrations that the ICC posted on Instagram, Dravid said to Kohli, “Tick it.” The limited-overs global trophies that Kohli has won as a player—the Champions Trophy, the ODI World Cup, and the T20 World Cup—were what he meant when he said “three white.”
The only thing left to do is prevail in the World Test Championship Final.
India fell against Australia in 2023 and New Zealand in 2021 both times they faced off in the WTC Final.
With a warm smile on his face, the 35-year-old Kohli, who announced his retirement from T20 Internationals following the World Cup victory here on Saturday, simply smiled at Dravid.
“Go tick it.” This event marked the conclusion of the 51-year-old Dravid’s time as India’s coach, which began in 2021.
India won the World Cups in 1983 and 2011 in the ODI format before winning the Champions Trophy in 2013.

“No feelings right now, I don’t know what to say,” he replied.
Pacer Arshdeep Singh displayed two Polaroid pictures of himself, one from the morning of the championship match and the other in the afternoon with the trophy in his hands and the winner’s medal dangling around his neck.
He declared, “This is what belief can do.”
