On his final day as India head coach, Rahul Dravid, known for his no-nonsense attitude, gave star batter Virat Kohli a task to complete even after India’s T20 World Cup victory. “All three white ticked off, one red to go. Tick it,” Dravid instructed Kohli in a video from the dressing room celebrations shared by the ICC on Instagram. This referred to the limited-overs global trophies that Kohli has already achieved, with the World Test Championship Final remaining.
Kohli, who retired from T20 Internationals after the World Cup win, smiled as Dravid emphasized the remaining goal. “Go tick it,” Dravid repeated, concluding his tenure as India coach.
