Rahul Dravid’s tenure as India head coach ended with the T20 World Cup 2024 win.

Former India head coach Rahul Dravid didn’t waste any time getting into his next assignment as he visited a local cricket academy in Bengaluru to inspire other young budding cricketers. This was the first time Dravid was seen in public after the T20 World Cup 2024 victory parade in Mumbai.

Rahul Dravid made his international debut in 1996 and played for India till 2012, but winning a World Cup was his dream. He fulfilled that dream as a coach, which was also his final act as head coach of the Indian team.

Under Dravid’s guidance, India qualified for the semis of the T20 World Cup 2022, went into the final of the 2021-233 World Test Championship, won the Asia Cup 2023, and reached the finals of the 2023 ODI World Cup.

Following the agony of the 2007 World Cup as captain and the 2023 World Cup as coach, Dravid had a happy ending with a World Cup triumph to his name.
