Greg Chappell congratulates Rahul Dravid.. ?

India won the t20 world cup 2024 by beating south africa in the final. In this situation, former coach of the Indian team Greg Chappell, who is considered as the enemy of Indian cricket by Indian fans, has congratulated him. In it, he has added a special greeting to the head coach of the Indian team 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 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 the management of the team. So Sachin and other senior players were in one group. Dravid and Greg Chappell were also supposed to work in another group. Although the Indian team had some notable victories during that period, they were knocked out in the first round at home in the 2006 Champions Trophy series. Then came a shocking first round exit in the 2007 ODI World Cup held in the West Indies. The Indian team was in a bad shape then.After Greg Chappell was sacked, Dhoni was made captain of the Indian T20 team in the 2007 T20 World Cup. After that, Indian cricket was revived when the Indian team won the 2007 T20 World Cup. No one can say where the Indian cricket team would be today if that had not happened. Chappell, who pushed the Indian team to a low level, has congratulated the Indian team for winning the 2024 T20 World Cup. Here is his wish for Rahul Dravid – “Congratulations to the Indian team for winning the T20 World Cup. I am very happy that Rahul Dravid in particular was a part of this success. It is great that he is retiring from the team at such a good time.”

There is a big reason why he picked Rahul Dravid in this. The 2007 ODI was played on the same West Indian soil as the 2024 T20 World Cup. It was then that the Indian team was shocked to crash 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 Indian soil. That is what Greg Chappell points out.
