India's World Cup loss in the final marked a generational shift in cricket, with Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill exchanging a handshake and hug. The event highlighted the need for a new era as India missed out on a third World Cup title. The seasoned trio of Kohli, Sharma, and Shami will continue their careers, but it is now the younger generation's duty to carry the team forward and create a fresh legacy. Players like Gill, Iyer, Gaikwad, Jaiswal, and Pant are expected to play pivotal roles in India's T20 World Cup 2024.
