Lalchand Rajput on Rahul Dravid after ICC T20 World Cup 2024

Mumbai (Maharashtra): Former India head coach Lalchand Rajput expressed his feelings on former skipper Rahul Dravid's coaching tenure after Men in Blue clinched their second ICC T20 World Cup title on Saturday.

A fine exhibition of death bowling by trio of Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya and stupendous knocks by Virat Kohli and Axar Patel helped India end their ICC trophy drought, securing their second ICC T20 World Cup title by beating South Africa by seven runs in a thrilling final at Barbados on Saturday.

Proteas are once again left heartbroken, yet to win an ICC title. Meanwhile, India has ended its 11-year-long ICC trophy drought, winning their first ICC title since the Champions Trophy in 2013.

India is the first team to have captured the title undefeated. "All of us know that Rahul Dravid's coaching is very silent and correct. We call him Wall of Cricket... When one wins the World Cup, any person jumps up with joy. He danced yesterday and showed that he has another side also...", said Lalchand Rajput.
