After leading the Men in Blue to victory in the T20 World Cup last month, Rahul Dravid, the former captain of India, received praise from Nepal’s head coach, Monty Desai. Desai also examined how India meticulously planned ahead for the major event and made excellent use of their resources.
India was a formidable opponent at the 2024 T20 World Cup, which the USA and the West Indies jointly hosted. The Asian powerhouse went undefeated in the competition under Rohit Sharma’s wise guidance, and they eventually won the trophy after defeating South Africa by seven runs in a nail-biting Barbados final.
Monty Desai is the most recent person to join the chorus of praise for Rohit and company following India’s outstanding campaign, which has received overwhelming support from both fans and experts.
The way that the NCA, the BCCI leadership group, the personnel, and the professionalism that they now bring in—not to mention the vision of two leaders, Rohit and Rahul—were able to put it together [was astounding].” They have undoubtedly acknowledged that their three years of hard effort have likely contributed to their success, Desai stated in a CricTracker exclusive interview.
Extremely strategic use of resources, such as Shivam Dube and Axar Patel. Coming forth for the most crucial game in the finals is the great guy, Virat Kohli. Rohit, the kind of cricket he has been playing since the 2023 ODI World Championship. Extremely thrilled for Rahul Dravid in particular; what a wonderful person he is. I’ve observed how he behaves at home, and I was fortunate to have invitations to his home on a few occasions, when we had some informal conversations like family,” he continued.

At the World Cup, Nepal lost three matches and washed out one. Still, they presented a strong picture of themselves and placed pressure on more seasoned teams like South Africa and Bangladesh. The Proteas lost by one run, and Bangladesh defeated Rohit Paudel’s team by 21 runs. Their other loss was a six-wicket loss against the Netherlands.
Nepal, who have a fervent fan following that sticks by them through good times and bad, have a bright future under Desai’s inspired leadership.
