India vs Australia: After India sealed a historic win against the Aussies at the Gabba, many fans fondly remembered former skipper Rahul Dravid’s contribution. Post-retirement, Dravid took over as head coach for the India Under-19 and India A teams from 2016 to 2019. Many of the players he coached — like Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, and Washington Sundar among others — were part of the match-winning team on Tuesday.
The Indian cricket team defeated Australia by three wickets at the GABA International Stadium. With this, India won the four-match series 2-1.
Here is how Fans were grateful to Rahul Dravid:
He is NOT on Twitter but #RahulDravid is the man behind the rise of all these players at National Cricket Academy and India `A’ : Gill, Shardul, Sundar, Siraj, Saini, Pant…Let us hail Dravid the astute cricket mind even as we celebrate the feat Down Under????

Real man of the series – Rahul Dravid. Building such a great bench strength through India A. Moulded in his personality – grit, resilience and immense self belief!!

In an office at the NCA in Bangalore, Rahul Dravid must be watching and feeling proud of the India A and India U19 programs he’s developed, which gave India their depth.
Then, he’ll quietly get back to work planning the next series.
