Former cricketer of team India VVS Laxman stated that it was a great gesture by Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to hand over the T20 World Cup 2024 trophy to Rahul Dravid. It was a special moment for India in Barbados as they ended their 13-year-long drought of an ICC World Cup following a slender 7-run win over South Africa. Rahul Dravid, the head coach of India, celebrated by jumping out of his chair, expressing the relief and joy that millions of Indian fans across the world were feeling.
Dravid, who is known as "The Wall," is a man who rarely shows his emotion, letting it out and making the victory even more memorable.

In a video posted by BCCI on X, Laxman said, "When Dravid lifted the World Cup, I thought it was a great gesture by Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to hand over that trophy, and the way he celebrated lifting that trophy showed how much it meant to each one of them. The amount of hard work they put in. The celebration told the bigger story behind this victory.”
