Dravid as a coach finally added silverware to his portfolio with the T20 World Cup title win after leading India to the final in both the ICC World Test Championship and ICC ODI Cricket World Cup in 2023.

Dravid, whose tenure ended after India’s triumph in the Caribbean, stated that he didn’t believe in “redemption stories”.

This was in response to a question when he was asked whether it was satisfying to lift the World Cup on the same shores where India were knocked out in the group stages of the 2007 Cricket World Cup under Dravid’s captaincy.

“I’m not usually short of words but on a day like today, for me to be part of this, I could not be more grateful,” Dravid said.

“For the respect, for the kindness, for the effort that each and everyone of you have shown to me, to my coaching staff, to my support staff.
