The event took place at Wankhede Stadium. Rahul Dravid sat quietly back during the entire function, but he appreciated every star that played for India. He praised every member of the team and a fantastic group that gave a brilliant performance. Every member seemed like his own family there.

Suryakumar Yadav highlighted Rahul Dravid’s message to the team before the ICC T20 World Cup final against South Africa: The moment that allows me to handle everything else, you both go and enjoy yourself. Rahul Dravid said it was Rohit Sharma’s phone call after the 2023 World Cup defeat that encouraged him to remain the head coach.

Rahul Dravid said:

Rohit called and said, ‘Rahul, let’s have another crack’. Perhaps, that was the best phone call of my life.

Rahul Dravid is digging into the lighter vein. Originally, his term was to end at the end of the 2023 World Cup but Dravid and other coaching staff have been given a contract till the end of the T20 World Cup. Seven months later, the Indian team exactly proved the live score by winning the T20 World Cup without a single defeat.

Rahul Dravid also expressed his gratitude. And in that zone, he had more affection for the team and great love for the team. While addressing the team, the coach said:

This is the perfect note to bow out or to bring any correspondence to a close. All the love—I am going to miss it all. The time that I spend with the team is great. I will miss everything. I will miss that great team and the time I spent with them.

This victory, along with what we have been witnessing today and what has been heard since the victory, depicts India’s way of embellishing cricket. The Indian cricket team played such great cricket. The unbeaten team, throughout the whole tournament, created a historic victory. I have a great relationship with every member of the team, and I will miss this relationship.

These boys are very close to me, like my own family. Every member of the team is part of my family. The amount of work that those boys have done is wonderful, and all the time they are improving their performance. All things considered, the role of the coach and support staff could not be any better. In the end, Rahul Dravid said he was thankful for the opportunity to have been able to work with this particular team. I had a great time with every member of the team.
