The Indian team has won the title of champion by defeating South Africa by 7 runs in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024.

With this, the journey of Team India's head coach Rahul Dravid with the team has also ended. Rahul Dravid has also given his last speech in the Indian dressing room in which he especially thanked Captain Rohit Sharma.

Thanks for calling me Rohit.

Let us tell you that there is a big reason behind coach Rahul Dravid specially thanking Hitman. Actually, when the Indian team had to face defeat at home against Australia in the 2023 ODI World Cup final, not only the team but also coach Rahul Dravid was completely broken.

The situation was such that Rahul Dravid, who is called the wall of the Indian team, had decided to leave the team even before seeing the Indian team become the champion. He was about to resign from the post of head coach, but then Hitman became the support of the wall.

Rohit Sharma himself called coach Rahul Dravid and persuaded him to continue as India's head coach, refusing to resign. After listening to the captain's words, even the head coach Rahul Dravid got courage and agreed with Rohit Sharma. The result of this one phone call was that within seven months, India defeated South Africa in the final of the T20 World Cup in Barbados by 7 wickets and won the title of champion.

Rahul Dravid is one of the greatest players of India, but as a player he never got to see Team India become a champion. If Rohit Sharma had not called coach Rahul Dravid and convinced him to stay on his post, it could have happened that Rahul Dravid would have resigned as a coach even before doing so, but Hitman did not let this happen. This is the reason why Rahul Dravid specially thanked Rohit before leaving.
