Rahul Dravid tells Virat Kohli to complete ONE LAST TASK while leaving Team India after T20 WC
As Rahul Dravid's tenure as the head coach of India comes to an end, he has left an assignment for Virat Kohli to complete in his absence.
With Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravindra Jadeja announcing retirement from T20Is and head coach Rahul Dravid's tenure reaching its maturity, an era has seemingly come to an end with Team India's historic T20 World Cup 2024 win. The victory has completed the assignment for Rahul Dravid as the head coach of India and would no longer have the tasks set for his players. However, he has one left for star Indian batter Virat Kohli.

Rahul Dravid conveyed Virat Kohli the final task he has left for him
As India defeated South Africa in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024, long celebrations ensued at the Kensington Oval and continued in the dressing room later. As wholesome clips of players celebrating the results that their hard work has reaped are flowing, one of the video features Rahul Dravid telling Virat Kohli, what's left for him to achieve.
Seeing Kohli holding the eminent T20 World Cup silverware, the outgoing head coach says "All three white ticked off. One red to go", emphasizing that he has all the three trophies that white ball formats have on offer and stated that only the World Test Championship maze is left for him to lift.
Team India has made it to the final of both the WTC finals that have taken place till now. Both times they lost. To New Zealand in 2021 and to Australia in 2023. The next WTC final will be held in 2025 and as per the latest team standings of the current cycle, India are yet again leading and will probably pull off a hat-trick of finals. However, they would like to do one better the next time, as doing so will fill the remaining tick of Virat Kohli in international cricket. Kohli was the part of the team that won the ODI World Cup in 2011. He played a prominent role in India's Champions Trophy win of 2013, and now has completed the three peat by winning the T20 World Cup 2024.
