IND Vs SA T20 World Cup 2024 Final means so much more to the Indian players than just a final. It is their shot at redemption after a horrific ODI World Cup final in 2023.
But there is another person who is looking at redemption and his wounds are deeper than anyone else in the squad. That person is none other than the head coach of the Indian team, Rahul Dravid.
The ICC T20 World Cup 2024 is not just for Rohit Sharma and his players to win, it is Rahul Dravid’s too. Dravid was here in the West Indies, during the darkest phase of Indian cricket, and he is here again entering India into a new era.
IND Vs SA T20 World Cup Final: Redemption
Dravid was the captain of the Indian team 17 years ago in West Indies. The Men In Blues were riding high on confidence for that ODI World Cup. But destiny had other things in mind.
No one from that 2007 squad can forget how India crashed out of that World Cup in the first round. Losing to Bangladesh of all the nations. It was a black day for the Indian team and the captain was at the front of it.
#DoItForDravid
But just like a true professional, Dravid does not want the final to be centered around him. Talking about the campaign, ‘Do It For Dravid,’ the Indian head coach stated that it is against who he is.
“It’s totally against who I am as a person. And totally against my values. You know, I don’t believe in this ‘Do it for somebody’. It’s not for anyone, it’s not for anybody. It’s just there to win. Just want to play good cricket.
All this ‘Do it for somebody’ is totally against who I am as a person and what I believe in, so I don’t want to talk about it and discuss it. If you can get that campaign removed, I’ll appreciate it.”
This right here speaks to the volume of the gentleman he is and why he is such an adored figure throughout the nation.
