Greg Chappell's enthusiastic message for the outbound India coach Rahul Dravid

World Cup-winning coach for Team India, Greg Chappell, heaped nothing but praise on Rahul Dravid's name as the former Indian cricketer departs from the role after not re-applying for the role. Chappell, who had worked alongside the legendary Indian cricket during his run as the India coach, feels the T20 World Cup win was a fitting send-off for him as he departs from the Men in Blue and that the triumph will be pleasuring for him.

“Congratulations to India on winning the T20 World Cup. I am particularly pleased for Rahul [Dravid] for being part of the victory. 

“His passion for Indian cricket has always been plain to see, so for him to have been an integral part of the planning for this win must be particularly satisfying for him. It is a wonderful way for him to finish his time with the team,” Chappell said as per mid-day.
