Rahul Dravid is more than just a name; he is an emotion etched in the hearts of every Indian cricket fan. Known as 'The Wall', this stylish batsman has set numerous records since his debut in 1996. One of his defining moments was leading India to victory in a test series in England in 2007.
However, one thing missing from Dravid’s illustrious 16-year international cricketing career was a World Cup medal, a gap filled when India became World T20 Champions after 13 years in Barbados. Dravid's guidance and relentless zeal as India’s coach played a crucial role in India lifting the T20 World Cup in 2024. In this video, Rahul Dravid was given a guard of honour by local cricketers and coaching staff members at the academy in Bengaluru.
The students raised their bats and the coaching staff of the academy gave a rousing applause to Dravid. The way Dravid celebrated in an animated fashion depicted what the victory meant to him. From lifting the World Cup trophy with immense passion to waving at the crowd during India's victory parade in Mumbai, Dravid was at his animated best.
As the former India captain steps down from coaching duties, Dravid will now focus on shaping budding talents who are eager to make a name for themselves in the Indian Cricket Team..
