The finals of T20 World Cup 2024 was the last match for Rahul Dravid as coach of Indian cricket team and he was able to get the perfect farewell as his side defeated South Africa to lift the title. Following the match, Dravid was in his “Indiranagarkagunda” mood and he even joked about being unemployed from next week in a candid chat with the reporters. The tenure of Dravid came to an end with the competition and he had earlier made it clear that he will not be extending his contract. In the candid conversation, he even joked if the journalists had any job offers from him as he does not have any work right now.
When asked if he will be able to move on from the massive victory, Dravid quickly responded – “Yeah, I will be. I mean, next week life will be same for me. I’ll be unemployed, that’ll be the only difference.”
Watch it here.
The journalists were left in splits and Dravid further quipped – “Any offers?”
The hunt for the next head coach of Indian cricket team is already underway with former opener of team India Gautam Gambhir emerging as the frontrunner. While nothing has been confirmed officially, media reports suggest that he is most likely to take charge of the national side after the departure of Rahul Dravid.
