Rahul Dravid is not only admired in India but worldwide as well. His approach to the game is truly impressive which is the reason why he rarely finds any haters. His simple, work-centric, and hard-working approach makes him a true gentleman of the game of cricket.
Rahul Dravid's tenure as India head coach
The T20 World Cup 2024 was Dravid's first-ever victory in an ICC tournament either as a player or as a coach. Before this win, he had come close to winning an ICC trophy twice, in the 2003 ODI World Cup final as a player and the 2023 ODI World Cup final as a coach. But on both occasions, India lost the finals to Australia to add to Dravid's misery.
However, in 2024, India didn't let slip the opportunity as they claimed the T20 World Cup title after a gap of 17 years. This was India's first ICC title in 11 years.
Rahul Dravid started his tenure as India's head coach after India failed to qualify for the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2021. He had a great time working alongside captain Rohit Sharma as he took India to new heights. India's win record improved significantly under Dravid's leadership as they proved to be a force in all the formats.
In the last year, India made it to three ICC tournament finals with Rahul Dravid as India's coach. India lost the World Test Championship (WTC) finals and the ODI World Cup final in 2023 but emerged as the T20 World Cup champions in 2024 to end Dravid's tenure on a high.
