New Delhi: 2 July 2024
Dravid, who served as the head coach until the end of the 2024 T20 World Cup, concluded his tenure on a high note as the winning coach. With his departure, Team India will now look for a new head coach.
A Heartfelt Thank You: Rahul Dravid
Following Team India’s victory, Dravid gave a speech to the group in the locker room, expressing his gratitude for being a part of this amazing experience. Everyone here will cherish this memory. You will remember these kinds of events more than your career, so it’s not about the runs or wickets. Sincerely, you all have my sincere admiration. We had some setbacks when we were close but were unable to cross the line, but overall we were happy with how you struggled, how you fought back, and how we worked together.”
Pride and Sacrifice
He went on to say, “You should all feel proud of what you’ve accomplished; the country is.” Look at what these boys did, what you all did, what the support staff did, the hard work we put in, and the sacrifices we made. For their families to be able to enjoy this moment, everyone made countless sacrifices. Consider all of the sacrifices made by your brothers, parents, spouses, kids, coaches, and numerous other people who helped you get to this dressing room.
Special Thanks to Rohit Sharma
Dravid also expressed gratitude to Rohit Sharma, saying, “Thank you all.” I’m at a loss for words, which does not happen often. Having been a part of this, I am extremely appreciative. Thank you so much for your respect, politeness, and effort toward me and my coaching staff.
Following India’s loss in the 2023 ODI World Cup final, Dravid pondered stepping down as head coach. However, Rohit Sharma convinced him to stay. Dravid expressed his gratitude by saying, “Rohit, thank you so much for making that call in November and asking me to stay on.”
