Rahul Dravid Hugging The T20 WC Trophy & Crying Was The Moment For Ravichandran Ashwin

The former Indian cricketer Rahul Dravid who served the Indian cricket team as the head coach may not have won any World Cup during his playing days but he has won two World Cups as a coach, one at junior level and second at senior level.

In 2018, India’s Under-19 team won the World Cup and Rahul Dravid was the coach of that team and now in 2024, he was the head coach of Rohit Sharma-led team which won the T20 World Cup 2024.

Co-incidentally, Rohit Sharma-led team won the T20 World Cup 2024 in West Indies and in 2007, Rahul Dravid was the skipper of the team which got knocked out from the first round from the World Cup which was hosted by West Indies.

Rahul Dravid is known for his calm and composed behaviour but after the winning the T20 World Cup 2024, he also screamed and cried with excitement. While speaking on his YouTube channel, the Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said that for him, the moment was when Virat Kohli called the then head coach and handed over the trophy, Dravid hugged the trophy, cried and screamed with joy; Ashwin said that he felt a lot in that moment.

While many felt that it was redemption for Rahul Dravid, he himself says that he doesn’t believe in redemption and that kind of things. Dravid said that he was not just lucky enough to win the World Cup, he gave his best when he played but it just didn’t happen and it is a part of sport.

Dravid further said in a media interaction that he knows many other players who haven’t won the trophy, he was lucky that he was given the chance to coach this team which made it possible for him to win the trophy. He added that he loved doing this job and he enjoyed the journey with Rohit and his team.

As per various reports, Rahul Dravid is being approached by Rajasthan Royals and a couple of other IPL teams for working with them as the head coach but nothing can be said with confirmation in this regard.

Rahul Dravid’s contribution towards Indian cricket will always be remembered by the players as well as fans.
