T20 World Cup 2024

 Champions of the World… ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’š..Indian Cricket team has done it one more time..๐Ÿ†๐Ÿฅ‡

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have announced their retirement from the T20 International format bringing the Silverware home for the team and beloved countrymen.

One man we cannot forget is the The Wall of the Indian cricket - Rahul Dravid Sir.

Penning down few thoughts for these three legends of Indian Cricket.


To start with Rahul Dravid Sir, the man who got the perfect closure with this win against what he had to bear in 2007. The perfect Last Dance for the outgoing Coach of our Indian Cricket team. The first Indian coach to bring Silverware back home. The emotions running down him were clearly visible. The extent of help Rahul Dravid has provided to Indian Cricket is enormous, from his playing days for the country to being the mentor for the Indian cricket at various levels be it U19 team or the Men’s first team. A person to idolize not only for his cricketing career and talent but also his simplicity and calmness of the field. 



Virat Kohli, our popular King. A player when goes through a rough patch is criticized but the level of criticism Virat Kohli had to go through was just unfair not only in this world cup but over his career. Starting the description with this point was only because one should understand the level of expectation this man has build in the Indian cricket fans itself makes him a Legend of the sport. The amount of belief the team captain and the management had in him even after the tough patch in the WC itself and the way he delivered in the Finals shows the class of the player. Like the captain had said in one of the interviews “He is saving for the Finals”. Yes, he was and he delivered. His heroics, discipline for the Indian cricket has only helped Indian cricket to flourish and an idol for young upcoming talent. 

Rohit Sharma, we Indian cricket fans lived his emotions first 2019 then 2023 in the ICC world cup tournaments.  The way he went down after the last ball was bowled and India won the World Cup was the reflection of efforts he had put in and pain he was going through for the past results. This is the perfect redemption of what happened in the last 2 major ICC events. Yes, test cricket is different topic for another day. The attitude shown in this or the last world cup leading from the front from the batting perspective or the team handling perspective says a lot about this player. The player who has put Nation first than the individual glory’s. Humongous respect, appreciation and affection Rohit has received from the Nation for his great contributions for Indian cricket as a player, as a captain, as a guide to the new players in the team.

Summing up these legends in 3-4 lines is difficult but just an attempt to show some respect and gratitude from a legit Indian Cricket Fan.

With these 3 legends moving out of the frame surely ends an ERA


Thanking the Indian Cricket team and Management - Cricket Fan - Aniket Amritkar
