Rahul Dravid makes bold prediction about India for upcoming ICC events

India clinched the T20 World Cup 2024 title by defeating South Africa in the final held in Barbados, marking an end to their 11-year trophy drought.

Former head coach Rahul Dravid expressed immense confidence in his team's abilities, foreseeing more ICC titles in the future.

"There was a moment when we were feeling that we were working really hard and playing good cricket as well but we were not able to cross that hurdle. But after today I am very hopeful that these boys will take it forward and win a lot of trophies.

"We have fantastic talent in Indian cricket right now. The energy and confidence the players have is at another level. We were aiming for an ICC trophy for a long time and I am sure the team will carry this confidence forward and will win a lot of trophies in the next four, five, six years because the ability and talent this bunch has, they lack nothing,” Dravid said after the match.

Dravid, who took over as head coach in 2021 and saw his term extended until the T20 World Cup 2024, praised the team's resilience and their ability to overcome challenges, particularly in the final match.

"I'm not usually short of words but I have felt really short of words over the last few hours. I just could not be more proud of this team. The way we've had to fight in difficult situations and even today, I think it was a great testament to the fight in the team.

"Losing three wickets in the first six [overs], to be in the kind of position we were in with 30 balls to go. But the boys just kept fighting, they kept believing, and I think it's just a great credit to them,” Dravid concluded.
