Rahul Dravid’s Speech
“There were times in this series where we were challenged, pushed and we found a way to bounce back. It speaks to the skills we have, the strength we have, and the character we have. On many events in this series, we could have lost the game, but we found people in this dressing room who stepped up and turned the game our way. That was fantastic,” Dravid mentioned.
“We not only need to win where we have to fight back but have to also win the games where we are ahead and don’t let the opposition come back. Well done on that as well, great stuff.
“Irrespective of whether we win or lose, this game teaches us a lot. Five Test series… you are going to go through ups and downs, you are going to be tested, and it is going to teach us a lot as players and as a team, and as people. We have come through that exceptionally with flying colors. We faced challenges both on and off the field, but the way we stuck as group was phenomenal.
“For a lot of young guys, you are going to need each other to succeed. Whether you are a batter or a bowler, your success is tied to other people’s success. All of you are invested in each other’s success, and that’s important. Well done on that. As a young group going forward, I hope a lot of you will play for a long time. And support each other and help each other grow as players.”
