Rahul Dravid, the legend of cricket, bid his farewell to team India as a head coach after winning the T20 World Cup, which he deserved the most as he worked hard every single minute for it after the loss of the 2023 World Cup. Everyone thought he would leave, but Rohit Sharma, the Indian Captain, asked him to continue till the T20 World Cup, which he mentioned in his farewell speech and thanked Rohit for.
It was a great decision by the BCCI and Rohit Sharma to keep Rahul Dravid as head coach. He really mixed the younger and experienced squad together and also changed the way the Indian team was batting before. He never won the World Cup trophy when he was a player, but now he has won as a coach, which has made him one of India’s most successful coaches.
What did Rahul Dravid say in his Farewell speech?
“I just like to say, Ro, thank you very much for making that call to me in November and asking me to continue. I think it’s been such a privilege and a pleasure to work with each and every one of you and every one of you, but also to know Ro.
“I know as a captain and a coach, there’s a lot of times we have to chat. We have to discuss. We have to agree. We have to disagree at times, but thank you so very much. It’s been brilliant to get to know each and every one of you as a person,”
“I think it’s been such a privilege and a pleasure to work with each and every one of you, but Ro, also thanks for the time. There is a lot of time we have to chat, we have to discuss, we have to agree, we have to disagree at times, but thank you so very much.”
“I’m not usually short of words but on a day like today, for me to be part of this, I could not be more grateful,” Dravid said. “For the respect, for the kindness, for the effort that each and everyone of you have shown to me, to my coaching staff, to my support staff.
“All of you will remember these moments. We always say, it is not about the runs, it is not about the wickets, you never remember your career but you remember moments like this, so let’s really enjoy.”
Said Rahul Dravid
The next head coach is going to be Guatum Gambhir, but officially, it is still not announced, as even for the Zimbabwe tour, VVS Laxman will be leading the team as the head coach.
