Former India head coach Rahul Dravid is known for his calm and composed nature. However, he was seen jubilantly celebrating not once but a few times following India’s T20 World Cup victory. Notably, India won the T20 World Cup by defeating South Africa recently and they reached home yesterday.

While the team met with PM Narendra Modi at breakfast in Delhi, they had a roadshow scheduled in the evening in Mumbai as well. There all team members and the head coach Rahul Dravid was seen enjoying and celebrating the victory and lifting the trophy as well.

However, the Indian cricket team had a great campaign in the 2023 ODI World Cup as they reached the final by showing their dominance against their opponents in style. However, their dreams were shattered when they lost to Australia in the title clash. The heartbreak left the then-head coach Rahul Dravid thinking over his future as the team head coach but a call from captain Rohit Sharma changed his mindset as well.

Rohit Sharma called Dravid and asked him to continue to do the job while asking him to have another go at a world title alongside him within a few months as well as Rohit had the 2024 T20 World Cup in mind.

“I wasn’t sure if I was going to continue after the 50-Over World Cup, and obviously, there was a great joy of having had a fantastic campaign but also a little bit of disappointment in the final that we could not get over the line,” Rahul Dravid recalled during a felicitation ceremony for Team India at Wankhede Stadium on Thursday.

However, Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid teamed up and went on to end India’s wait for another ICC trophy with their second-ever T20 World Cup title after they first won it in 2007 as well. Notably, India went unbeaten throughout the campaign.

“For Rohit to pick up the phone and say, ‘Rahul, let’s have one more crack at it in six or eight months’ time. It will be lovely to have a crack at it together’. I am so thankful because I had the chance to work with an exceptionally great bunch of boys. But also experience what I have experienced in Barbados and to experience what I have done here. Truly grateful and probably one of the best phone calls that I have received in my life,” Rahul Dravid concluded.
