India's campaign at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021 came to an end and the side did not manage to make it to the semi-final. They however ended their campaign on a high after defeating Namibia in their final match of the World Cup on Monday (November 9).
With this match, it was the end of Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri partnership. While Kohli has given up on his captaincy for the shortest format of the game, Shastri's tenure as head coach has come to an end.
The bond between Shastri and Kohli was even more evident when the two shared a warm hug after the clash was over. Soon after fans started sharing pictures of the duo.
Virat Kohli & Ravi Shastri as Captain & Coach respectively end on a high note with so many memories

Cricket is the only sphere of our post - 2014 where the rhetoric of "New India" makes sense.

The only regret the two would have in their incredible career would be not winning any ICC trophy, However, India under the two people had truly become a dominant force.
