He may be 52 years old, but Dravid has shown that his love for playing the sport hasn’t diminished a bit, teaming up with his younger son Anvay (16) in a Sri Nassur Memorial Shield 3rd division game on Saturday.

Former India captain and coach Rahul Dravid has been appointed Rajasthan Royals' head coach on a multi-year contract ahead of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, the IPL franchise said on Friday.

“You are an absolute stalwart of this game but you left all of your accolades and achievements at the door and walked in as our coach and came on a level where we all felt comfortable enough to say just about anything to you,” Rohit wrote on the Instagram post.

Rohit’s bold stance and Kohli’s sacrifice bore fruit as they both have now hung up their boots in T20Is as World Cup winners.

India head into Saturday's T20 World Cup final against South Africa hoping it will be third time lucky as the cricketing powerhouse looks to deliver a world title after successive defeats in finals.

India were unbeaten in the initial pool phase as they advanced into a Super Eights featuring two groups of four. Afghanistan, however, have also justified their billing as potential semi-finalists.

"Such a big role model for all of us," Rohit said. "Growing up we watched him play and we know what he's achieved personally as a player and what he's done for the team over the years."

At a press conference ahead of India's first game against Ireland in New York, Dravid stated he will not reapply for the role, with the BCCI advertising the role from last month.

Shah also informed that India would not adopt a split-coaching model.

Samson was named in India's 15-man squad for the June 1-29 event in the West Indies and United States but the inclusion of Rishabh Pant means the 2007 champions have options as they bid for a second title.

India named their 15-member squad and four travelling reserves for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 this week and skipper Rohit Sharma and chief selector Ajit Agarkar addressed a press conference to reveal the thinking behind the selection choices made.

Fast bowler Akash Deep dedicated his stunning Test debut on Friday to his late father after jolting England with three wickets in the first hour of play.

India coach Rahul Dravid said Monday he was pleased with his team's young players in delivering a comeback win in the second Test against England in a "tough series".

India coach Rahul Dravid on Sunday said Ollie Pope's counter attack and reverse sweeps against world-class spinners was key to England's victory in the opening Test.

Rahul Dravid will stay on as India head coach following an extension of his contract, which had expired with the 50-overs home World Cup earlier this month, the country's cricket board said on Wednesday.

Rahul Dravid has decided not to continue as the head coach of the India cricket team, claimed a report in Times of India.

“It’s tough to watch boys like this,” Dravid told the media after his team’s heartbreaking six-wicket loss to Australia in the final.

India coach Rahul Dravid on Sunday said skipper Rohit Sharma batted superbly and "led the team fantastically well" despite losing the World Cup final to Australia by six wickets.

India coach Rahul Dravid says he backs the "vibe and energy" in his team as they plot World Cup semi-final revenge over New Zealand on Wednesday.

“You can debate whether we have to stick to the rules as they are. Or you have to sometimes give a little leeway for a little bit of spirit of cricket. And there'll be people on both sides of the camp."
