Rohit Sharma revealed that Rahul Dravid, a former Indian coach, was considering leaving his role to a heartbreaking defeat to Australia in the ODI World Cup final in Ahmedabad 2023.
The Indian team was on the role of ODI showpiece and was undefeated to the finals. Many hoped that, like Mrs. Dhoni, the team led to fame in 2011, Rohit Sharma would do the same in 2023.
The defeat left a deep grade on the hearts of Indian fans – and even more on players and coaching staff. Rohit mentioned that he did not want to continue his role at first. In fact, his original contract was set at the end of the ODI World Cup. However, the Indian captain convinced the bird of prey to stay and, as a result, His tenure was extended.
“Rahul Bhai wanted to resign after the World Championship in 2023. But we said,” There’s another world championship in six months. We came so far. Let’s go again. “He agreed – and I’m so glad he did it.
The rest, as they say, is history. India continued to win her second World Cup T20, giving Dravid a good farewell that he deserved so rich.
Moment of a complete circle for Rohit
Rohit also had a lot to do. He came as a captain and the most experienced player in the group and had to perform and show why he is considered one of the giants in the T20 format. While he did countless times as a captain in IPL, the international cricket was a completely different challenge.
“It was also emotional for me. My identity as a cricket began with this format – in the 2007 T20 World Cup. Come in 2024 came a full circle and lift the trophy again – it was just fantastic,” he said.
Since then he has to Rohit say goodbye to the T20 InternationalAnd later, also try crickets. Now he focuses only on the 50-over format, where he could look at the last big run at the last big run at the South Africa World Championship.
