I was happy for the support staff. So many people who had worked really hard with me.” You need a bit of luck to go your way: Rahul Dravid “I was with the team for 2.5-3 years and we came close to winning many times, be it the semi-final of the last T20 World Cup in Australia, the World Test Championship final or the 50-over World Cup final in India, and we couldn’t get the win in those crucial moments. In such situations, you need a bit of luck and a bit of fortune and that’s what happened to us that day.”

Some players were injured, and because of that I had to work with 5-6 captains in 8-10 months. It was definitely something I had not imagined. I am actually someone who likes continuity. I don’t like chopping and changing too much. Because I believe that creates a lot of instability and doesn’t create a very good environment.” I feel I am part of a team whose responsibility is to create the right professional, safe, protected environment where there is really no fear of failure but enough challenges to push people. That has always been my endeavour.
