Rahul Dravid’s words encourage the captain and team

Rahul Dravid said, “There were times in this series where we were challenged, pushed and we found a way to bounce back. It speaks to the skills we have, the resilience we have, and the character we have. On many occasions in this series, the game could’ve gone either way, but we found people in this dressing room who stepped up and turned the game our way. That was fantastic!”

“We not only need to win where we have to fight back, but have to also win the games where we are ahead and don’t let the opposition come back. Well done on that as well, great stuff.

“Irrespective of whether we win or lose, this game teaches us a lot. Five Test series… you are going to go through ups and downs, you are going to be tested, and it is going to teach us a lot as players and as a team, and as people. We have come through that exceptionally with flying colours. We faced challenges both on and off the field, but the way we stuck as group was phenomenal.

“For a lot of young guys, you are going to need each other to succeed. Whether you are a batter or a bowler, your success is tied to other people’s success. All of you are invested in each other’s success, and that’s important. Well done on that. As a young group going forward, I hope a lot of you will play for a long time. And support each other and help each other grow as players.” The head captain continues and added some more. Following this stellar series win, the team’s head coach, Rahul Dravid, gathered the squad in the dressing room to express his appreciation for their exceptional performances.

Celebrating team triumph

In a heartfelt speech shared by the BCCI on their official social media channels, Dravid emphasized the team’s resilience in overcoming challenges both on and off the field. He particularly praised the young talents for their stellar contributions in securing the series triumph. Rohit Sharma added, “Want to thank everyone for getting our act together, under-pressure, wanted to respond. It wasn’t possible if all of us didn’t bond to the thought process. Extremely happy for that.”
