2024 World Cup Final Highlights: Kohli’s Flawless T20 Farewell Was The Result Of Thorough Prep

With everything turning out so well in the 2024 T20 World Cup finals, everyone including us at IPLCricBet, couldn’t be happier for it. However, it wasn’t a feat achieved by mere chance. It was the result of considerable, careful preparation over time. And when we saw Kohli’s picture when he was holding the prize, the quote ‘a picture says more than thousand words’ came to our mind.

Virat Kohli’s Immaculate T20 Ending Wasn’t Through Sheer Luck But Careful Hard Work

When he embraced Rahul Dravid and buried his face in his shoulder, he was filled with tears. This was, after all, one of the greatest gifts that Virat Kohli, Rahul Dravid and the skipper Rohit Sharma can provide to Indian cricket.

This Was Like History Repeating Itself In The T20 World Cup 2024 Final

The situation was similar to Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman when they transitioned to Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara. The change went smoother than anyone could have expected. Rohit Sharma went on to become a Test regular later on. And the Indian cricket scene shaped its way ahead with no roadblocks in its way.

Yashasvi Jaiswal’s Reaction To The Indian Team Winning The T20 World Cup 2024 Final

You could see Yashasvi Jaiswal looking on in the background. But it wasn’t an expression associated with negativity. And being one of the best IPL match prediction site, we couldn’t not let you know about it.

Despite being touted as India’s future in the Indian cricket field, he did not get to play a single game in the tournament. But instead of sulking or glowering about the situation, he was looking on in content. He was completely satisfied that his time would come in the future. He was simply a young man soaking in the moment, proud of his team’s victory.

Virat’s Performance Will Be Remembered In The T20 World Cup 2024 Final

Kohli’s performance in the finals will be remembered for years to come. Even if it moves on, it will always remind us that cricket is a team game. Nearly a decade ago, Virat played nearly identical innings – 77 from 58 balls in the World Cup final against Sri Lanka. At that time, no one else contributed anything of significance and India was easily overhauled at 130.

This time however, Virat’s 76 from 59 balls was complemented by critical knockouts from Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube. Had they lost, trolls would have a field day with their performances. In this spell, with everyone’s contribution in the XI, such a fate was avoided.

Sir Vivian Richards Statement To Virat Kohli’s Performance In The World Cup Finals

When it comes to Virat Kohli’s performance, what else can we say except that it is sheer will power? When he came into the finals with 75 runs off 7 innings, he had to have known that he couldn’t keep his place except for his reputation. This is what legendary players do.

Sir Vivian Richards always says that Virat Kohli reminds him most of himself. He also keeps saying that legends are those who are able to bend the situation to their will.

Conclusion

And when it is put together with Kohli’s performance, it seems unreal that he has already done it so many times. This seems like it couldn’t be a better moment for Kohli to announce his farewell from the scene. But he will still be playing in the IPL and domestic cricket from the cricket IPL player list. And we couldn’t have been prouder of him!
