\u201cI express my sincere thanks and gratitude to Mr. Rahul Dravid whose highly successful tenure as the Head Coach draws to a close. Under his guidance, #TeamIndia emerged as a dominant force across formats, including being crowned ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup champions,\u201d read the post by Jay Shah on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The former India skipper has been at the helm of the \u2018Men in Blue\u2019 for three years and led the team to the T20 World Cup, Asia Cup, the finals of the 2023 ODI World Cup, and the World Test Championship 2023.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHis strategic acumen, persistent efforts to nurture talent, and exemplary leadership have instilled a culture of excellence within the team and that is also the legacy he leaves behind. The Indian dressing room today is one cohesive unit standing together through challenges while reveling in each other\u2019s success,\u201d further added the secretary of the BCCI.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
