As the nation awaits India’s face-off against South Africa in the T20 World Cup final on Saturday, the match will be more memorable for team India coach Rahul Dravid, whose term will officially end today.
As today’s match against South Africa will remain a crucial event in Rahul Dravid’s journey as team India’s head coach, social media is fraught with posts on the campaign ‘Do it for Dravid’. If team India wins the match, the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 trophy will be a tribute to Rahul Dravid. However, the head coach has a different opinion on the ‘Do it for Dravid’ campaign. In a video released by Star Sports, Dravid explained that the campaign completely contrasts his personality.
In the video, he suggested that no one should do something for anybody else. Dravid expressed that the campaign is against his personality and his moral values and advocated the T20 World Cup victory of the team for themselves.
“You know, I don’t really believe in this ‘Do it for somebody’. I love that quote about somebody asking somebody else, ‘Why do you want to climb Mount Everest?’ and he says, ‘I want to climb Mount Everest because it’s there’. I want to win this World Cup because it’s there. It’s not for anyone, it’s not for anybody, it’s just there to win,” said Rahul Dravid in the video. Rahul Dravid’s words in the ‘Do it for Dravid’ campaign reflect his humble and down-to-earth behaviour.
