Rahul Dravid’s Farewell Assignment to Virat Kohli: The Final Tick

Outgoing India head coach Rahul Dravid assigned Virat Kohli one last task after India’s T20 World Cup victory, urging him to win the World Test Championship. Despite Kohli's achievements in limited-overs cricket, this remains an unfulfilled goal. The Indian team is currently in Barbados due to hurricane Beryl.

In the wake of India's triumphant T20 World Cup win, outgoing head coach Rahul Dravid had one last challenge for star batter Virat Kohli. Even on his final day, Dravid showcased his characteristic no-nonsense approach.

In an Instagram video by the ICC, Dravid told Kohli to 'tick off' the World Test Championship Final—a title that has eluded the cricketer despite his accolades in limited-overs cricket. India has previously lost WTC Finals in 2021 and 2023.

The Indian team, stranded in Barbados by hurricane Beryl, plans to return on a charter flight. Among the celebratory scenes, Suryakumar Yadav and Arshdeep Singh captured moments of their monumental win.
