The first 7 matches of the T20 World Cup 2024 may not have been good at all for Virat Kohli, but the former captain and star batsman of Team India showed his strength in the most important match. When Team India lost 3 wickets for 33 runs in the final against South Africa, Kohli took charge of the team and played an innings which ultimately proved to be important in making them champions. With this, Kohli ended his T20 career with the World Cup trophy. Not only Kohli, head coach Rahul Dravid's journey with Team India also ended with this, but before leaving, Dravid also asked Virat to achieve a new goal.

After defeating South Africa in Barbados, every player of Team India, every member of the coaching and support staff became emotional. Not only Team India, but the whole country was immersed in a flood of emotions like them in this happy moment. However, it is also sad that the time of Virat, Dravid, Ravindra Jadeja and captain Rohit Sharma with Team India in T20 cricket has also ended. Kohli, Rohit and Jadeja will continue to be seen in other formats, but Rahul Dravid will no longer be a part of Team India's dressing room.

What did Dravid say to Kohli before leaving?

In such a situation, Dravid gave a new challenge to Virat before leaving.

After Team India's victory, ICC posted many pictures and videos of the celebration and in this, a video came from Team India's dressing room, in which all the players including captain Rohit, Kohli, Dravid were seen. It was here that Dravid's special message to Virat came to the notice of the fans. Rahul Dravid told Virat - 'All three whites are complete, now it is the turn of one red, complete that too.'

What is the meaning of Dravid's challenge?

Actually Dravid was talking about Virat's trophy here. Kohli has won all three titles of white ball i.e. limited overs. He was a part of the team that won the World Cup in 2011 and the Champions Trophy in 2013 and now he has also won the T20 World Cup. Now Virat is left to win the world in red ball i.e. Test cricket and Dravid gave him this goal that he should win the World Test Championship as well. Team India including Virat has lost the Test Championship final twice in a row and now next year they would like to capture this title by reaching its final for the third consecutive time. If this happens then Virat will become the only cricketer in the world to win all four titles.
