Rahul Dravid: Celebrating a Journey from Player to World Champion Coach

Rahul Dravid experienced the euphoria of a world champion for the first time as India clinched the T20 World Cup under his coaching. Dravid attributed the success to the team's dedication and the support from captain Rohit Sharma. He expressed gratitude, reflecting on a memorable tenure and hopeful future for Indian cricket.

Singapore – The great Rahul Dravid, not typically one for outward displays of emotion, found himself overflowing with gratitude after India's T20 World Cup victory. The heady feeling of being a world champion was something he 'wasn't lucky as a player' to experience but cherished as a coach.

Under the meticulous watch of head coach Dravid from the dugout, skipper Rohit Sharma marshalled his resources beautifully, leading India to a nerve-wracking seven-run victory over South Africa in the thrilling finale. The triumph ended an 11-year ICC title drought for India.

Dravid, overwhelmed with pride, lauded his players for their resilience. 'I really felt short of words over the last few hours. This team kept fighting, kept believing,' he said. Reflecting on his journey, Dravid, who steps down as coach now, credits a fantastic professional environment and a touch of luck for this victory.
