Watch: Rohit Sharma greets Virat Kohli with a hug, while Rahul Dravid watches
The T20 World Cup victory of Team India last week was nothing less than a fairytale for the two stalwarts of the game, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Team India defeated South Africa by seven in the final, which proved to be the perfect farewell for Kohli and Rohit, with the two announcing their T20I retirements after the match. Shortly after the final, while Kohli made the announcement, Rohit followed suit during the post-match press conference. Kohli was named ‘Man of the Match’ in the final, while Rohit became the first Indian captain in 11 years to lift an ICC title.
After the final, both Kohli and Rohit were emotional as they embraced each other on the ground. The two also shared a moment on the stairs leading to the Indian dressing room.

An unseen video of outgoing head coach Rahul Dravid’s reaction to Rohit and Kohli hugging each other on the stairs has gone viral. David was coming down from the dressing room when the two were hugging each other. Before heading towards the pitch, the 50-year-old took a moment to pat their backs.
