BCCI Secretary Jay Shah sent a farewell message to former India Head Coach Rahul Dravid, thanking the former India captain for a highly successful tenure with the Men in Blue, which included guiding the Rohit Sharma-led team to victory in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 in Barbados. Soon after thanking Dravid for his successful stint, Shah announced that Gautam Gambhir had been appointed the new head coach of the Indian cricket team.
“I express my sincere thanks and gratitude to Mr. Rahul Dravid whose highly successful tenure as the Head Coach draws to a close. Under his guidance, TeamIndia emerged as a dominant force across formats, including being crowned ICC Men’s T20 World Cup champions,” Shah posted on X.
“His strategic acumen, persistent efforts to nurture talent, and exemplary leadership have instilled a culture of excellence within the team and that is also the legacy he leaves behind. The Indian dressing room today is one cohesive unit standing together through challenges while reveling in each other’s success,” added the BCCI Secretary.
The former Indian skipper was at the helm for three years and led the Men in Blue to the T20 World Cup, Asia Cup, the finals of the 2023 ODI World Cup, and the World Test Championship 2023.Many may have expected him to guide India to more trophies than he did, but there is no doubt that his stint as head coach was a success.
