Under the guidance of Rahul Dravid, the Indian team recently won the T20 World Cup 2024 title. With this, Rahul Dravid’s tenure as head coach also ended. Dravid could not win any ICC trophy during his career, so winning the 2024 T20 World Cup trophy is of great importance to him. Meanwhile, Ravichandran Ashwin has revealed the moment when India won the trophy.

Ashwin told how former head coach Rahul Dravid expressed his emotions. He said that Rahul Dravid hugged the trophy and cried after leading the team to its first ICC title in 11 years.

I saw him hugging the trophy and crying- Ravichandran Ashwin

Ashwin said on his YouTube channel, the moment for me was when Virat Kohli called Rahul Dravid and gave him the trophy. I saw him crying while hugging the trophy. Rahul Dravid shouted and cried. I saw him enjoying it. I felt it. I want to talk about one person. India lost during the 50-over World Cup in 2007. Rahul Dravid was the captain at that time. After that he was no longer with the ODI team. The spin bowler said, if something does not go well, if the Indian team is out or loses the match, they immediately ask what Rahul Dravid is doing.

Ashwin said, I know what he has been doing with this team for the last 2-3 years. I know how balanced he is. I know how hard he has worked to change this approach. I know what he has given to each of his players. Even when he was sitting at home, he would keep planning how to do this and how to do that.

Let us tell you that this victory means a lot to Dravid. He was very happy after winning the trophy for India as the head coach. Rahul Dravid thanked the support staff, players and BCCI for believing in him. Now Gautam Gambhir is the head coach of Team India in his place and he is starting his tenure with the Sri Lanka tour.
