1 phone call stopped Dravid, otherwise Rahul would have left in November itself, he himself told the truth

Team India is now looking for a new coach. Rahul Dravid's tenure ended after the T20 World Cup 2024. Dravid has bid farewell as the world champion coach. India won the T20 World Cup-2024 title while he was the coach. Although Dravid's tenure ended in November itself, it was then extended. While leaving, Dravid has told on whose advice he stayed after November''.

Dravid's tenure began in late 2021 and culminated with the just-concluded ODI World Cup in November 2023. The Indian team reached the final in the ODI World Cup but couldn't win it. Just after this title loss, Dravid was about to leave, but he stopped.

He has told why he stayed and on whose advice he stayed. Dravid has also thanked that person for this. After Team India's title win, Dravid gave a farewell speech in the dressing room. BCCI has posted a video of this. In this video, Dravid thanked the team captain, Rohit Sharma.

Dravid said, "Ro, thanks for calling me in November and asking me to stay in your position. I think it was a privilege to work with every member of this team, but Rohit, thanks for giving time. Many times, we had to talk and discuss. We agreed with each other and also showed disagreement, but thank you."

This was Team India's third final of ICC tournaments under Dravid's coaching. Team India had made it to the final of the ICC World Test Championship. The team had also reached the final of the ODI World Cup. On both these occasions, the team faced defeat at the hands of Australia. But in the final of the T20 World Cup, India faced South Africa, and this time, Team India won.
