Sunil Gavaskar's appeal to the government: Rahul Dravid was about to leave the post of head coach after India's defeat in the ODI Cricket World Cup last year, but he was stopped on the request of Rohit Sharma and other players. Seven months after this incident, India has created history by lifting the T20 World Cup trophy. Now former legendary batsman Sunil Gavaskar has demanded that former Indian team player and head coach Rahul Dravid be awarded the highest civilian honor Bharat Ratna.
Dravid's important contribution to Indian cricket
After the T20 World Cup, Rahul Dravid's tenure as the Indian head coach has ended. Dravid ended his tenure by making Team India the champion. India achieved many achievements while Dravid was the coach. Apart from becoming the champion in the T20 World Cup, runner-up in the World Test Championship (WTC) and ODI World Cup, the Indian team under the leadership of Rahul Dravid has also won the Asia Cup title. Apart from being a coach, Dravid has also contributed a lot to Indian cricket. He has been the President of the National Cricket Academy and was also the coach of the Indian team that won the Under-19 World Cup in 2018. As a player, Dravid has scored more than 24 thousand runs in international cricket.
Gavaskar asked the Indian government
Gavaskar wrote in an article that it would be appropriate that the Government of India honors Dravid with Bharat Ratna, as he is a great player and captain. He won the series in the West Indies and is the third Indian captain to win a Test series in England. As NCA President, he discovered young players and then trained the senior team. Some people were awarded Bharat Ratna at the beginning of the year. His supporters will also agree that his work was limited to his field. But Dravid has given such an achievement that the whole country is happy. Dravid definitely deserves this honor. Meanwhile, Gavaskar also praised Dravid while remembering his playing days.
