“Rahul was never in front”: Ex-Indian bowling coach reveals Dravid’s highest quality
Outgoing Indian head coach Rahul Dravid concluded his tenure on a high note, with India clinching the T20I World Cup 2024 title. India’s title victory marked a significant achievement in Dravid’s coaching career, solidifying his impact on the team. Dravid’s tenure with team India as head coach ended at the end of the T20I World Cup 2024.
Dravid didn’t renew his contract, bringing an end to his successful stint with team India. Ahead of the T20I World Cup, he had already stated that T20I World Cup will be the last assignment for him as Indian head coach. Meanwhile, Paras Mhambrey, who served as bowling coach in Dravid’s staff, highlighted Dravid’s highest qualities.
"My association with Rahul is a long one. I worked with him for India A, U19s, NCA and then finally Team India. That's eight-nine years of interaction and understanding what the requirements are, what the vision is. I knew what Rahul wanted. As a coach, Rahul was never in front, he is always behind (the players). That speaks a lot about the individual himself. A lot of focus was on the players,” Mhambrey told Hindustan Times.
“It's all about the players, never about him. He never liked to take credit. You always see him in the background. A legend of a game. But to be able to say that, okay, I'm going to take a backseat and allow the captain and the team to be in the forefront, it's phenomenal," he said.
With the departure of Rahul Dravid, former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir has been appointed as the new head coach of team India. Gambhir’s first assignment as head coach will be the upcoming white-ball series against Sri Lanka.
