Rahul Dravid was India's coach from 2021 till 2024 and he signed off in style with a victorious T20 World Cup campaign. However, the final of World Cup 2023 against Australia at Ahmedabad still haunts Indian fans, and Dravid too has now opened up on that loss in the CEAT Cricket Rating Awards.

The former Indian coach and talismanic batter stated that they did everything they could in that World Cup and there was nothing they could do more in terms of preparation for the final. He added that he is proud of the way boys played throughout that World Cup and dominated the proceedings.

“There's nothing we could have done more in terms of our preparation, the planning, the execution of what we needed to do for 10 games in a row to dominate, to win the game we did, play the game we did."

Rahul Dravid also accepted the fact that Australia played better cricket on the day of the final and that cost India. However, he was quick to add that such things happen in sports and this unpredictable nature of sports is what makes it fascinating.

“I thought we ran a phenomenal campaign. We came unstuck in the final and Australia played better cricket than us on the day. They were a better team and congratulations (to them). That can happen in sport and that's what sport is about."
