A legacy left behind after Rahul Dravid‘s adieu to international cricket

‘The Wall’ of India team still stands tall as he decided to serve his country even after his career ended internationally. While most of the cricketer enjoy their time after retirement, Dravid made an exception and decided to coach the young players in cricket.

In 2015, Dravid was appointed as the coach of India A and head coach of the U19 team. Under his guidance, U19 made it to the final of the ICC U19 World Cup 2016. After this splendid performance by India U19, the BCCI decided to extend Dravid’s term for another two years. Rahul Dravid’s efforts paid off beautifully when the India U19 team won the glorious World Cup in 2019.

Rahul Dravid has been retired from the coach and is now working as Director (Cricket) of the National Cricket Academy. Rahul Dravid is also responsible for the rise of the young batsmen like Prithvi Shaw, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, and many more. Youngsters have credited him time and time again for their their good performances and improvided game in cricket.
