Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Rahul Dravid after the trio helped the India team to win the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. PM Narendra Modi posted three tweets on X to hail the trio on social media. 

While Rohit Sharma did a marvelous job during the group and Super 12 stage, Virat Kohli slammed a match-winning 76-run knock in the final. He also won the Player of the Match award. Also, Rohit Sharma helped India to win an ICC title after a long time. 

Rahul Dravid has done a wonderful job since taking over as India's head coach in 2021. He helped the team win the Asia Cup 2023 before the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Notably, Dravid has also formed a dominating set of players who crushed all teams in recent times.

Dravid, Virat, and Rohit not be seen together in the near future

Notably, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma announced their retirement from T20I cricket after winning the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Hence, Rohit Sharma has left the captaincy and Hardik Pandya will lead the side in the future. 

Rahul Dravid is also set to step down from his role as head coach after two consecutive terms. Hence, we can say that Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Rahul Dravid will not be seen on the field together in the near future. However, all of them ultimately managed to win another ICC Title for India after consistent failed attempts in the knockout games.
