The Emotional Side of Rahul Dravid: His T20 Coaching Era Comes to an End with a Win

Rahul Dravid, also known as ‘Indiranagar ka gunda’ among fans, was once again seen displaying his raw emotions on the field after India’s victory against South Africa in the T20 World Cup. This marked the end of Dravid’s coaching era. Many fans were amazed at seeing Dravid’s emotional side, especially for those who grew up in the 90s. The relief in Dravid’s expressions during his aggressive celebration was noted by many.

In 2021, a CRED app advertisement went viral showcasing Dravid displaying anger for 46 seconds straight, a side of him that was not seen before. During the match against South Africa, India managed to pull back the game even though South Africa needed just 30 runs to win off 30 balls. This victory marked India’s second T20 World Cup title since the inaugural tournament in 2007. Virat Kohli was named the player of the match for his innings of 76 runs off 59 balls. He announced his retirement from T20Is during the awards ceremony, while Rohit Sharma also announced his retirement from the T20I format.
