The great Rahul Dravid was not his usual restrained self after India's T20 World Cup glory and couldn't thank his wards enough for helping him live what he "wasn't lucky as a player" to experience -- the heady feeling of being a world champion.

With head coach Dravid watching the action from the dugout, skipper Rohit Sharma marshalled his resources beautifully as India held their nerve to a seven-run victory over South Africa in a thrilling finale and win the T20 World Cup to end an 11-year ICC title drought.

His fantastic equation with Rohit went a long way in building the kind of atmosphere needed for a team to succeed at the top level. Moreover, both have tremendous respect for each other and Rohit dedicated the victory to Dravid.

Talking about Rohit Sharma, Dravid said he will miss him the most.

"I will miss him as a person forget the cricket, forget the captain and everything. I just hope we will still be friends. I think what's really impressed me in all of the these is the kind of person that he is, the kind of respect he has shown me, the kind of care and commitment he has had for the team, the kind of energy, and he has never backed down from it," he said.


"So, for me, it's the person that I will remember the most...he will be a great captain, he will be a great player, he will win trophies but I think it's the person that I am most fond of," Dravid was full of admiration for the captain.
