Rahul Dravid jokes about job hunt after T20 World Cup coaching stint

In a thrilling finish, India clinched their second T20 World Cup title, defeating South Africa by seven runs in Barbados. Amid the celebrations, former Indian coach Rahul Dravid delivered another memorable one-liner, adding to his collection of witty remarks over the years.

Following the victory, a reporter asked Dravid if life would change for him after such a significant win and if he could move on quickly. With his characteristic humor, Dravid responded, "I will be. Next week, life will be the same for me. I will be unemployed; that will be the only difference (laughs). I am unemployed next week. Any offers?"

BCCI Secretary Jay Shah recognized Dravid's vital contribution to the team's success and explained why his tenure as the Indian team's coach wasn't extended following a successful T20 World Cup campaign.

"He (Dravid) told me that due to family commitments, he wants to quit, and we respect his decision. I didn’t force him to extend. Rahul Dravid’s role is as important as Rohit Sharma's in this T20 World Cup title triumph. He is a man who took the team to the 2023 ODI World Cup final and didn’t want to leave because he wanted to finish the job," Shah said.
