Team India has performed brilliantly in the T20 World Cup 2024. Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team has not lost a single match in this tournament and has reached the final by winning eight matches in a row. Apart from the performance of the players and the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, head coach Rahul Dravid also has a big hand behind the success of the Indian team. During his tenure, Team India has reached the final of the ICC for the third consecutive time. However, it did not win even one of these. Seeing the hard work of Rahul Dravid, now there is talk of him winning the trophy.

Meanwhile, he has given such a statement, which won the hearts of 140 Indian fans. Ashwin was also happy to hear this, but at the same time he also gave a warning.

What did Dravid say before the final?

Team India will play the final match of T20 World Cup 2024 in Barbados on 29 June. Before this battle against South Africa, a campaign named 'Do it for Dravid' is being run for Rahul Dravid. That is, this time there is talk of winning the trophy for Dravid. Before the great match, during an interview on Star Sports, he was questioned about this campaign. As always, he replied very politely and said that he does not believe in such campaigns.

According to Dravid, he is against doing anything for any particular person. He said that the whole team is working hard in the tournament, so everyone should try to win it. He also demanded to stop the campaign.

Ravichandran Ashwin was happy to hear this from Dravid.

He said that the narrative of doing something for a person is very dangerous in team sport. Such things can spoil a good atmosphere. He expressed happiness when Dravid rejected this narrative.

Dravid's heart was broken in West Indies

17 years ago, Rahul Dravid's dream was shattered in the West Indies itself. In 2007, the Indian team came to play the ODI World Cup under Dravid's captaincy, but was eliminated from the group stage due to a shameful performance. Dravid could never lift the World Cup trophy for the team in his career. Now, while coaching Team India, he will have his last chance on 29 June in Barbados, because after this his tenure will end.
