In New Delhi [India], former Team India coach Rahul Dravid spoke about his coaching philosophy and said that he is not too keen on 'chopping and changing'.
Rahul Dravid's last match for the Men in Blue was the last match of the T20 World Cup 2024 against South Africa. He ended his tenure on a notable note after winning the T20 World Cup on Saturday by beating South Africa by seven runs in Barbados.
In a video shared on the official social media account of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Dravid said that he is someone who likes continuity in life.
"I'm someone who likes continuity in life. I don't like cutting and changing too many things because I think that creates a lot of instability and doesn't create a very good environment," Dravid said.
The former cricketer added that he believes that "coaching is not just about coaching cricket."
"I like to believe that coaching isn't just about coaching cricket. It's about building connections with people and creating the right environment that allows for success. I feel like I'm part of the team whose responsibility it is to create the right professional." "A safe environment that's not really afraid of failure as such, but is challenging enough to push people. That's always been my effort to try to create that atmosphere," he added.
He further added that his vision is always to win games and try to do his best.
"The vision, of course, is to win a game of cricket. You try to win as much as you can. But I always think about the fact that what leads to winning? How do you win more games? What is the goal? " How can you challenge players enough? How do you prepare well tactically and technically? players on the right path? These are the things I wanted to check off before going on to win. Hopefully, if we did most of these things, the victory would take care of itself," he added.
Recapping the final match of the T20 World Cup 2024 between India and South Africa, the attacking pair of Virat Kohli and Axar Patel brought the Men in Blue closer to their dream by propelling them to a competitive total of 176/7. Despite some nervy defending, India managed to defend the total and claim a 7-run win to lift their second T20 World Cup title.
