Team India Victory Parade Live Updates: Everyone will miss Rahul Dravid!
Live Updates of Indian Team Victory Parade: Everyone will miss Rahul Dravid whose tenure as India coach ended with the T20 World Cup. He neither re-applied nor took up an extension in his contract.
In his final speech to the team, he said, “I’m short of words but I just want to say thank you all for being part of this amazing memory. You will all remember this moment. As I always say, it’s not the runs or the wickets that matter. You will never forget your career. But you will never forget moments like this. So, enjoy it wholeheartedly. I couldn’t be more proud of you all. To bounce back like you did, to fight, to work as a team, to persevere. There have been disappointments over the last few years when we came so close and never crossed the finish line. But what these boys have achieved, what all of you have achieved, what all the support staff have achieved, the hard work we have put in, the sacrifices we have made. I know you, the whole country, are proud of each and every one of you and what you have achieved.”
“Ro, thank you so much for calling me in November and asking me to continue. It has been a true honor and pleasure to work with each and every one of you. Thank you so much for your time, Ro. I know as captain and coach there are many things we have to chat about, discuss and agree on, and sometimes we don’t agree, but thank you so much.”
“Each one of us has been through a system, each one of us has been through an organization that has given us the opportunity to grow and play, so thank you so much, well done,” he added.
