New Delhi. The Indian cricket team lost to Australia in the final of the ICC ODI World Cup on Sunday, November 19. After this defeat of Team India, not only the fans but also the players and coach Rahul Dravid were looking very sad. Dravid, who led India’s hopes of winning the ICC trophy, was out of contract with the World Cup. Now he answered whether he wants to stay ahead with the team or not.
Team India under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma performed very well in the ICC ODI World Cup played in India. The Indian team reached the semi-finals by winning 9 matches in a row. After this, by winning the match against New Zealand, they continued their winning campaign and secured their ticket to the final. Team India, who had recorded back-to-back big wins, lost to Australia in the final and their dream of winning the title was shattered. With the end of this tournament, head coach Rahul Dravid’s contract with BCCI has also expired.
Rahul Dravid, who took over as the head coach of Team India after India’s defeat in the T20 World Cup in 2021, spoke about this after the defeat in the World Cup on Sunday. When asked about continuing as the coach of the Indian team, he said, “Look, I didn’t think about it at all. I didn’t have time to think about it because I was completely focused on this World Cup.”
He continued, “The atmosphere in the dressing room is very different at the moment, everyone’s emotions are coming out. It is very difficult for me as a coach to see all this. I have spent a lot of time with all of them, so I know them personally very well. These are very difficult times.”
