In the T20 World Cup 2024, a match was to be played between India and Canada in Florida on June 15. However, the match did not have much importance from the tournament point of view, because the Indian team had already reached the Super-8, while the Canadian team was out of the tournament. Despite this, this match was very important for Canada, because it was going to play a match against Team India in the T20 World Cup for the first time.

This would have given the players a good experience but the rain spoiled it. However, the 'gentleman' of Indian cricket i.e. Rahul Dravid did not let Canada down. After the match was canceled, he went to their dressing room to meet the players.

Dravid made Canada's day

Many Canadian players take inspiration from the Indian team. Some players also consider Virat Kohli as their role model. In such a situation, playing against the Indian team in the T20 World Cup would have been a proud moment for them, but due to rain this opportunity was snatched away from them.

Canada may not have got a chance to play the match, but Team India's coach Rahul Dravid, famous for his humility, suddenly reached the Canadian dressing room as soon as the match was cancelled. The players were very happy to see him. Dravid then gave a speech for the Canadian players. Dravid praised the Canadian players and called them a source of inspiration for many children.
