The relay race is not necessarily won by the team that runs the fastest, but by successfully passing the baton in the exchange zone. There is also passing of the baton by outgoing seniors to incoming newcomers that determines the continuance of the success momentum of that team.
Indian stars Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma announced their retirement from T20 internationals after leading India to a thrilling 7-run victory over South Africa in the ICC T20 World Cup final. Their legacies offer valuable lessons.
Their retirement paves the way for fresh talent to emerge. It's a reminder that every era must come to an end. This transition showcases the importance of embracing change and creating opportunities for growth.
Both chose to retire on a high note, after achieving their goal of winning the T20 World Cup. Their decision is apt on timing and recognizing when it's time to move on, allowing others to take the reins and forge their own paths.
As they continue to play Test and 50-overs cricket, their retirement from T20s demonstrates the need to evolve and adapt in our careers and lives. As we bid farewell to these legends in the T20 format, we must embrace the lessons their move (to pass the baton) has taught us.
If at the right time, you pass the baton
New stars will continue the momentum!
