Outgoing Head Coach Rahul Dravid gave a stirring speech to Team India after their T20 World Cup final win on Saturday, June 29.
Dravid addressed the players and the support staff in a farewell speech in the team dressing room, where BCCI Secretary Jay Amit Shah was also present.
'I couldn't be more prouder of you guys. To come back the way you did, the way you fought, the way we worked as a team, the resilience,' Dravid said as the players and support staff listened with rapt attention.
'Thank you to everyone for making me a part of what is an incredible memory,' he added.
Telling the players that the 'whole country is proud of you' he also reminded them of all the sacrifices they put in for this achievement.
He also thanked his team and Rohit Sharma for convincing him to stay on as coach after India's ODI World Cup final loss in November last year.
'We won this as a team, it's about all of us, it's not about any individual,' Dravid said before a word of praise for BCCI for all the work put in for the team.
