Former India head coach Rahul Dravid commented on India’s defeat to Australia in the 2023 World Cup final. Team India suffered a six-wicket loss and a major heartbreak of not winning a home World Cup as well. And, Dravid said that Indian pacers Mohammad Shami and Jasprit Bumrah beat Head a lot and also added how Head was dismissed for a first-ball duck months later in the IPL 2024 final as well.

“You need those moments of luck a little bit in life. You just need those things, you know Travis head was beaten by Shami and Bumrah like a lot that day and he went on to play a phenomenal innings. And then 6 months later he’s playing a final of the IPL and first ball he edges Vaibhav Arora in a final, SRH versus KKR. And that’s the game, right? You think you’re in control of a lot of things, but there certain things you’ve got to sometimes just accept them and move on,” he said on ‘Breakfast with Champions’.

However, Rahul Dravid signed off as Team India’s Head Coach after the 2024 World Cup win. Following his coaching stint with the senior men’s team, he opined on the journey and shared that he had built good relationships with the players that were beyond results as well.

“I think more than the wins and the losses, I think I’ve built some good relationships with a lot of those players. Some of the better conversations I’ve had with a lot of the players and the team have been more just sitting and maybe just having a chat over a coffee or a tea or a lunch or a dinner. And I think you really get to know people a lot better in that way,” Rahul Dravid concluded.
