Paras Mhambrey, a member of India's coaching staff, shed light on Rahul Dravid's selfless approach as the team's head coach in a recent conversation with Hindustan Times.
Dravid played a pivotal role in India's T20 World Cup victory against South Africa in Barbados, ending a 11-year wait for the title.
The former bowling coach praised Dravid's ability to remain in the background, allowing the players to take center stage. "He never liked to take credit," Mhambrey noted.
You always see him in the background: Mhambrey
"I knew what Rahul wanted. As a coach, Rahul was never in front, he is always behind (the players). That speaks a lot about the individual himself. A lot of focus was on the players. It's all about the players, never about him. He never liked to take credit. You always see him in the background. A legend of a game. But to be able to say that, okay, I'm going to take a backseat and allow the captain and the team to be in the forefront, it's phenomenal."
Dravid's tenure as head coach has come to an end, with speculation surrounding his potential move to Rajasthan Royals (RR) as head coach. Gautam Gambhir is set to succeed him as the new head coach of the men's senior team ahead of the Sri Lanka white ball tour, starting on July 27.
