Greg Chappell congratulates rahul Dravid..!?

India won the t20 world cup 2024 by defeating south africa in the final. In this situation, the former coach of the indian team, Greg Chappell, who is considered the enemy of indian cricket by indian fans, has congratulated him. In it, he has added a special greeting to the indian team's head coach rahul Dravid. His congratulatory message brought back old bitter memories for indian fans. In 2005, former Australian cricketer Greg Chappell was appointed as the head coach of the indian cricket team. Chappell, who became the coach of the indian cricket team at the insistence of the then-captain Ganguly, removed sourav ganguly from the captaincy and the team within a few months.
Rahul Dravid was appointed as the captain of the indian team. Together they decided on the management of the team. So Sachin and other senior players were in a group. Dravid and Greg Chappell were also said to be working in another group. Although the indian team had some notable wins during that period, they were eliminated in the first round at home in the 2006 Champions Trophy series. Next came a shock exit in the first round of the 2007 ODI world cup held in West Indies. The indian team was in a bad state then.After Greg Chappell was dropped, dhoni was appointed as the captain of the indian t20 team in the 2007 t20 World Cup. Then indian cricket was rejuvenated as the indian team won the 2007 t20 World Cup. No one can say where the indian cricket team would have been today if that had not happened. Chappell, who pushed the indian team to a bad stage, has congratulated the indian team for winning the 2024 t20 World Cup.Here's his wish for rahul dravid - "Congratulations to the indian team for winning the t20 World Cup. I'm very happy that rahul dravid in particular was a part of this success. It's wonderful that he's retiring from the team at such a good time."


There is an important reason why he singled out rahul dravid in this. The 2007 ODI was played on the same west indies soil as the 2024 t20 World Cup. It was then that the indian team was shocked to get out in the first round. As a result, Greg Chappell was sacked as coach. He could not bid farewell to the world cup as a coach. But rahul dravid, who suffered a lot in that world cup, has now completed his work as a coach with a world cup victory on the same west indies soil. That's what Greg Chappell points out.
