Rahul Dravid era set for fitting finale in T20 World Cup final.
India’s T20 World Cup showdown against South Africa will serve as Head Coach Rahul Dravid’s swansong before passing the baton to Gautam Gambhir.
Dravid has transformed India into a global force across formats in his 3-year tenure. Guiding the team to multiple marquee finals, including the 2022 Asia Cup victory.
The legendary batter now aims to crown his coaching stint with World Cup glory before stepping down. But he insists the occasion isn’t about personal accolades.
“It’s totally against who I am as a person. I don’t believe in ‘Do it for somebody’,” stated Dravid, playing down a popular social media movement in his honor.
His coaching journey has been a full circle, leading the team 17 years after captaining the 2007 ODI World Cup in the Caribbean.
Dravid leaves large shoes to fill with India attaining No.1 Test and T20I rankings under his stewardship. But consistent success owes to the players’ skill.
Regardless of the result, the wall’s formidable legacy and calm leadership set the benchmark high. Indian cricket celebrates his contribution ahead of his swansong’s defining moment.
