Indian skipper Rohit Sharma had penned down an emotional farewell message for former T20 WC winning head coach & Indian legend Rahul Dravid in his social media account.
“Dear Rahul bhai, I have been trying to find the right words to properly express my feelings on this but I’m not sure I ever will so here’s my attempt,”
“Since my childhood days I have looked up to you just like billions of others but I was lucky enough to get to work with you this closely. You are an absolute stalwart of this game but you left all of your accolades and achievements at the door and walked in as our coach and came on a level where we all felt comfortable enough to say just about anything to you. That is your gift, your humility and your love for this game even after all this time. I have learnt so much from you and every memory will be cherished.”
“My wife refers to you as my work wife and I’m lucky to get to call you that too,” Rohit wrote. “This was the only thing missing from your arsenal and I’m so happy that we got to achieve it together. Rahul bhai it has been an absolute privilege to get to call you my confidant, my coach and my friend.”
With India’s win in Dravid’s final assignment, his tenure as coach was over. Gautam Gambhir has now taken over the coaching for India.
