Rahul Dravid Urges Virat Kohli To 'Tick' Another Box

Virat Kohli is among the select few Indian players who have won every ICC trophy in white-ball cricket. He has been successful in winning the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2011, the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013, and now the T20 World Cup in 2024. However, Rahul Dravid is still not completely satisfied with Virat Kohli. This is why, upon stepping down as head coach of Team India, Rahul Dravid has entrusted Kohli with a significant responsibility. Since Dravid has given him this responsibility, it is clear that Virat will strive to fulfill it.

“All three whites ticked off. One red to go. Tick it,” said Dravid to Kohli in the Indian dressing room as the team celebrated with the T20 World Cup trophy. Dravid and Kohli shared a high-five as the former cricketer entrusted Virat with this responsibility.

Team India played the 2021 World Test Championship final under Virat Kohli’s captaincy but lost to New Zealand. In 2023, under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy, India played in the World Test Championship final for the second consecutive time but lost to Australia. This is why Rahul Dravid wants Virat Kohli to win the ICC World Test Championship for the Indian team and become the only player in the world to have won all four ICC trophies. The World Test Championship final is scheduled for June next year. A great Test cricketer would definitely want to win this title.

After retiring from T20I cricket, Virat Kohli is expected to focus on red-ball cricket going forward. Regarded as one of the greats of Test cricket, Kohli has amassed 8,848 runs and 29 centuries in this format.
