An era has ended. Virat Kohli has stepped down from India’s T20i captaincy with Rohit Sharma all set to take the responsibility to lead the Men in Blue in the shortest format of the game. Not just this, with the conclusion of India’s campaign in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021, the tenure of Ravi Shastri (head coach), Bharat Arun (bowling coach), and R Sridhar (fielding coach) also came to an end.
The Indian cricket team achieved several milestones and first including back-to-back Test series wins on Australia soil. The bowling attack of the Indian cricket team became one of the most lethal ones in the world with the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma, and newcomer Mohammed Siraj proving themselves in every condition.
As the tenure of the trio of Team India’s support system came to an end, Virat Kohli penned down an emotional tweet for them, which is now going viral.
Well, on Wednesday, Virat Kohli took to Twitter and shared an emotional tribute to the outgoing India coaching staff comprising Ravi Shastri, Bharat Arun, and R Sridhar. Sharing a picture with the coaching staff, Virat Kohli wished them luck moving forward. He also lauded the trio for their contribution in the Indian cricket team. He wrote:
“Thank you for all the memories and the amazing journey we’ve had as a team with you all. Your contribution has been immense and will always be remembered in Indian cricket history. Wish you the best moving forward in life. Until next time”
