"Thank You Ro" Said By Rahul Dravid in His Farewell Speech

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.
