Former Indian cricketer and current coach of the Under 19 Indian team Rahul Dravid has finally done what he set out to do. When he retired from the Indian cricket team he chose to coach and mentor of the Under 19 team instead of focusing and training the national side because he believed that the youngsters needed more mentorship and guidance. Today, Rahul Dravid finally laid his hands on a World Cup, a trophy that he could not hold in his stellar batting career. When Twitterati saw Rahul Dravid holding the Under 19 Cricket World Cup trophy they could not keep calm and their tweets and reactions were fabulous. Many said that looking at Rahul Dravid holding the World Cup is the most satisfying feeling ever and the World Cup deserves him.
The Under 19 Cricket World Cup was won by India in a thrilling match against Australia which proved their mastery on the cricketing field. The Indian Under 19 team beat Australia by eight wickets to lift the World Cup trophy and brought joy to millions of Indians back home and the fact that the man who was guiding, supporting and stood by them was none other than our beloved Rahul ‘The Wall’ Dravid made the victory sweeter.

Head coach Rahul Dravid who is revered the world over for his grit, determination and being a team player deserves all the praise and applause that is coming his way. However, as is his nature he is clearly embarrassed by all the attention that he is receiving and said, “I am really proud of the boys and the effort they put in. I don’t want to mention names, but everyone in the support staff has put in a great effort.”
Twitter obviously erupted in joy looking at their icon and it is a commendable fact that a cricketer who is not on social media has been trending since the time the team won the trophy.
