India captain Virat Kohli on Wednesday thanked the team’s outgoing head coach Ravi Shastri and other members of the support staff whose term ended at the T20 World Cup and praised them for their contribution to making a great outfit.

Although India did not make it to the semi-finals of the ICC T20 World Cup in the UAE, the Shastri-Kohli duo along with bowling coach Bharat Arun and field coach R Sridhar were part of the line-up that won two sets of tests in Australia. .

The team will lead 2-1 in five test sets in England, which will be completed next year. The departure of Shastri and Co. marks the end of the era of Indian cricket.

“Thank you for all the memories and the amazing journey we have had as a team with all of you. Your contribution has been huge and will always be remembered in the history of cricket in India,” Kohli has given up on the T20 captain, wrote praise to the coaching staff on Twitter.

“I wish you the best in life ahead. Until next time,” he said.

Rohit Sharma will be India’s new T20 captain from November 17 with Rahul Dravid as head coach.

Rohit is also expected to take over the reins of the ODI captain during his tour of South Africa.
