As a proud Indian we all celebrated the victory.
Jay Shah posted a message for Rahul Dravid who ended his time as the Indian cricket team head coach by winning the T20 World Cup 2024.
"I express my sincere thanks to Mr Rahul Dravid whose highly successful tenure as the Head Coach draws to a close.
Team India became an outstanding team in all formats under his leadership, winning the ICC Men's T20 World Cup."

But do you know one thing that he refused to take the additional ₹2.5 crore that the BCCI was awarding him.
“Rahul wanted the same bonus money ,₹2.5 crore as the rest of his support staff ,bowling coach Paras Mhambrey, fielding coach T Dilip and batting coach Vikram Rathore.
We respect his sentiments,” a BCCI source said.
As per the distribution formula devised by the board, the 15 playing members of India’s winning squad and Dravid were to get ₹5 crore each from the ₹125 crore prize money.
The support staff are getting ₹2.5 crore each, while the selectors and the travelling members of the squad will be richer by ₹1 crore each.
Dravid had made a similar point as head coach of India’s winning U-19 World Cup team of 2018.
When it was decided that Dravid would get ₹50 lakh while the other members of the support staff would get ₹20 lakh each and the players ₹30 lakh each,
But he had refused the formula. Dravid wanted the BCCI to award everyone equally.
And now it is the time for a new head coach,
BCCI secretary Jay Shah confirmed on social media on tuesday that Gautam Gambhir has been named Indian cricket team's next head coach,
The former India cricketer will replace Rahul Dravid whose tenure came to an end after the T20 World Cup 2024.
