Bridgetown. The Indian cricket team ended its long drought of trophy by winning the ICC T20 World Cup. After losing to Australia in the ODI World Cup final last year, coach Rahul Dravid along with captain Rohit Sharma were extremely disappointed. Rahul Dravid, who is usually calm, was seen jumping like a child after winning the T20 World Cup and thanked his team for getting him the trophy as a coach which he could not win as a player.
Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, India defeated South Africa by seven runs in a thrilling final and ended the 11-year wait for the ICC title. Dravid said after the victory, “I have no words in the last few hours. I am proud of this team, the way it fought in difficult circumstances.

I tried my best during my playing days but all this happens in sports.”
