Former India cricketer VVS Laxman said that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma‘s handing over of the T20 World Cup trophy to Rahul Dravid was a great gesture. It was a special moment for India in Barbados as it ended its 13-year long losing streak in the ICC World Cup after a 7-run win over South Africa. Dravid jumped out of his chair in celebration, expressing the relief and joy that millions of Indian fans around the world were feeling. The victory proved to be a redemption for Dravid, who has served as the head coach of the Indian team. In 2007, India surprisingly crashed out of the World Cup in the West Indies, which remains as a day of failure in the country’s cricket history. However, on the same soil, Dravid turned the dream into a memorable one by appreciating his desired achievement and raising it high in the air for the first time in his illustrious career.
Dravid, known as The Wall, a man who rarely shows his emotions, lets it out and makes the victory more memorable. When he (Dravid) lifted the World Cup, I thought it was a great gesture to hand over the trophy to Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli and the way they celebrated lifting the trophy shows how much it means to each of them, how much hard work they put in to celebrate this victory which has a big story behind it.
