The U-19 World Cup in 2018 was the one to remember for India. A young group of boys, coached by none other than Rahul Dravid, Indian team dominated the whole tournament. The young guns in Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill were the stars of the tournament.

As much as everyone appreciated the team’s performance, there was also much praise surrounding the team’s coach, Rahul Dravid. Earlier, Dravid rejected the role of Indian team coach and decided to be with the junior team. The results were there for everyone to see. Dravid’s influence was seen on the boys as all of them displayed great discipline and composure under pressure.

Being the player of Rahul Dravid stature it is expected that he might gain more attention than a normal coach and player’s performance might get overshadowed but Dravid ensured this not to happen and always stayed behind the scenes.

Sehwag's tweet summed it up nicely.
