Former India captain Rahul Dravid is happy that the Under-19 boys got to wear World Cup winners’ medals. Addressing a press conference as the Under-19 team returned to India, Dravid said, “Happy for the 15 boys as they get to wear a World Cup winner’s medal.”
Asked about his experience when he was playing U-19 cricket, Dravid said,” Can’t compare generations. There was no U-19 World Cup when I was a junior cricketer. Facilities for young players today are better than what I had when I first played for India.”
India beat Australia convincingly in the final of the World Cup and talking about their performance, the 45-year-old went on to say, “We didn’t play our number one game in the final. We probably did that in the semi-final.”
“Once the boys are good enough, they need to go and play men’s cricket,” added Dravid, speaking about the future of some of these U-19 players who had shown a lot of potential right throughout the tournament.
