A former teammate of head coach Rahul Dravid demands credit for him
In a one-sided match, India defeated Sri Lanka in the finals of the Asia Cup 2023 on Sunday, i.e., September 17. They clinched their eighth Asia Cup title by winning the match with 10 wickets. This is head coach Rahul Dravid's first multinational trophy since stepping in as head of Team India after the T20 World Cup 2021.
Indian fans never seem to cut Dravid any slack for his constant team experiments, but things took a turn recently when Dodda Ganesh, who is the former Karnataka teammate of Dravid and an ex-Indian cricketer, came out in his support and pointed out the hypocrisy of some fans.
Ganesh called Dravid the unsung hero of Indian cricket. He further made the strong point that whenever the team loses, Dravid takes the heat, but he rarely gets the credit when they win.
Dodda Ganesh wrote on his X account that "India is on the verge of a thumping win today in the #AsiaCup finals. And Rahul Dravid is still not trending on X. Well, only the blame goes to Rahul when the team fails, but when the team wins, he’ll be forgotten. Well, in the kind of world we live in, I so badly want India to win the #WC2023 for the sake of Rahul Dravid. The unsung hero of Indian cricket."
