Rahul Dravid experienced disappointments in 2003 and 2007 while playing and captaining, and he has recently suffered heartbreaks as a manager in the WTC Final in 2023 and World Cup Final.
India suffered a crushing defeat against Australia at the ICC World Cup 2023 Final score: 6 wickets loss. The Aussies won their sixth title, a record. After the World Cup Final, Rahul Dravid’s contract as head coach expired. Dravid hinted to uncertainty about his future in the post-match conference.
He stated that the World Cup schedule has been so hectic that he’s not had time to think about his role as a coach with Team India.
“I haven’t thought about it. I just finished a game. I don’t have time to think or reflect about this. When I have the time, I will. At the moment, I am completely focused on my campaign. I was completely focused on the World Cup and nothing else. “I haven’t thought about the future.” Dravid says
