An extraordinary story of a legendary player who became the coach of the Indian cricket team.

As head coach, Rahul Dravid guided India to the 2024 T20 World Cup title, ending an 11-year ICC trophy drought and cementing his legacy as both a legendary player and a successful coach.

Dravid took over as India’s head coach in 2021, marking a new chapter in his cricketing journey and bringing stability, discipline, and long-term vision to the national side.

As coach of India’s Under-19 team, Dravid led a talented young squad to World Cup glory in 2018, nurturing future stars and showcasing his coaching acumen.

Dravid’s monumental Test career, amassing over 13,000 runs, established him as one of the greatest batsmen in cricket history and earned him the nickname 'The Wall.'

His iconic 180 against Australia in Kolkata, alongside VVS Laxman, helped India script one of the greatest comebacks in Test history.

Dravid captained India in all formats, leading notable overseas Test series wins in the West Indies and England, further proving his leadership credentials.

Before becoming national coach, Dravid served as Head of Cricket at the National Cricket Academy, strengthening India’s talent pipeline and player development structure.

During a challenging England tour in 2011, Dravid stood tall with a masterful 164 at The Oval, highlighting his resilience and technical brilliance late in his career.

Dravid’s exceptional performances across formats earned him the prestigious ICC Cricketer of the Year award, underlining his global stature.

His induction into the ICC Hall of Fame recognized his immense contributions to the game, both as a player and as a respected ambassador of cricket.
