After India won the third one-day international match against New Zealand by a score of 90 runs, Rahul Dravid, who is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished cricket players on a global scale, was questioned by Shubman Gill, who was named Player of the Series for the matchup.
The game was being played in the Holkar Stadium in Indore, which is a site that honours Rahul Dravid by naming a dressing room after him.
Shubman Gill who is the head coach of the Indian cricket team, inquired about how it felt for Dravid to walk into a locker room that bore his name. The head coach of India provided an open and honest response.
Dravid is one of the most humble athletes and sports people in the entire globe. He is famous for his modesty.
The famous player from India said that he was flattered by such overtures, but he also acknowledged that things could become somewhat uncomfortable at times.
“Tell me how it feels to walk inside the dressing room and see your name on the sign,” On bcci.tv, Shubman Gill posed the question to Dravid.
“It’s a nice sensation. You are appreciative of the love that has been shown to me throughout the years by a large number of different people. To be able to compete in this sport in this country is a tremendous honour.
The love that is shown to you is beyond compare, and I count myself extremely fortunate to have been gifted with the ability to play cricket for a considerable amount of time “After a giggle, Dravid responded to the question by saying.
He continued by saying: “I also have feelings of embarrassment from time to time. However, you do have a strong sense of gratitude.”
The relationship between Dravid and Shubman Gill goes back a long way. In 2017, Gill was a member of India’s Under-19 team, which was subsequently given the responsibility of being coached by India’s head coach.
In point of fact, Dravid was the head coach of the India U19 team when they went on to win the championship that year, and Shubman Gill was named the “Player of the Series” for the tournament.
