#3 Refused to coach the Indian senior Cricket Team
Rahul Dravid was the head coach of the Under-19 Indian Cricket Team which lost to West Indies in the final of the Under-19 ICC Cricket World Cup which was held earlier this year in Bangladesh. He was not keen on taking charge of the senior side and rather wanted to work with the junior team to enrich the talents among the youth. That was a great gesture on behalf of Rahul Dravid to make sure the future International stars are groomed properly.
Many big stars have emerged during ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cups over the years. Mohammad Kaif and Yuvraj Singh were the finds of the 2000 Under-19 ICC Cricket World Cup, while current Indian captain Virat Kohli prospered during the 2008 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup. And many might say that India’s future will be in safe hands with Dravid nurturing the next generation.
