It was a resounding victory in the World Cup final where India thumped Australia by 8 wickets, the attention was on the incredible performances of the U19 boys but it was hardly complete without head coach Rahul Dravid being showered with the love and praise that he deserved for mentoring the team that followed one clinical victory after another in the tournament.

It was also typical of Dravid to be modest and clarify that the attention he got was embarrassing when the entire coaching staff deserved the credit. The team was grateful and happy to have him as their coach as expressed by the players multiple times but what was a celebration was each player acknowledging his guidance after the World Cup too.

As Ian Bishop said, “I could watch Rahul Dravid speak all day,” the coach left us wanting for more as he spoke about what went on behind the scenes and the approach they followed for the preparation of the tournament.  He said, “Coaching this team I tend to get a lot of attention, but it is really about the quality of support staff that we have had, there have been seven, eight of us who have been together for the last 14 months, the effort they put in was incredible.”

“I am proud to be a part of their (support staff) team and I see it as that. We try and do what’s best for the kids and hopefully they can put in the performances on the field and they have certainly done that in this tournament,” he said.

As you would expect, Twitter went into a frenzy not just ecstatic about India’s victory but also for Dravid getting to lay hands on a World Cup, not as a player but as the coach. The future of Indian cricket was in safe hands when he took over and today will be etched in history and we have Rahul Dravid and the entire coaching staff to praise for bringing out the best in the players.

Here are the some of the best reactions:
