Rahul Dravid is on the receiving end of all praises and applause for crafting an invincible team out of these young and vibrant talents. We are all thankful to him for the world cup win.
RAHUL DRAVID NOT HAPPY WITH THE BCCI
After India won the U19 World Cup, huge cash prizes for the players and the support staff were announced. All the players in the squad will receive INR 30 lakh each while all those in the support staff will receive INR 20 lakh each. But Rahul Dravid has been kept at a higher pedestal and for him, the reward announced by the BCCI is INR 50 lakhs.
Rahul Dravid is not happy that players would be getting less than what he walks away with. Here is what Rahul Dravid said
“It’s a bit embarrassing at times because I tend to get a lot of attention and focus, but it is really about the support staff and the quality of people that we’ve had. I don’t want to mention names but everyone in the support staff has put in a great effort. We do the best for the kids,”
As a report by the Indian Express, Rahul Dravid was unhappy with the discrimination in the cash prizes received by him, the players and the support staff. Once again he has proved why he is called the best gentleman ever to have played the sport. This is nothing but Dravid being Dravid.
