Don’t do it for me: Why Rahul Dravid does not want T20 World Cup as farewell gift?

India cricket team head coach Rahul Dravid is nearing the end of his tenure and faces one last challenge. The veteran has so far not tasted success in terms of helping the side win an ICC trophy since he became the coach in 2022. However, Dravid has one last chance as India take on South Africa in the final of the T20 World Cup on Saturday.

Ahead of the final, Dravid was asked about if the team should win the trophy as a perfect send off for the legend. However, Dravid being his humble self, replied that the team ought to do it for the game more than doing it for an individual. He also remarked that he was against the social media trend ‘Do it for Dravid’, adding that it was totally against what he stood for and believed in.
