After Rahul Dravid declined BCCI’s ₹2.5 crore bonus for India’s T20 World Cup win, X users say that he is a “true living legend” and a man with “integrity” After guiding Team India to the T20 World Cup 2024 win, the outgoing head coach, Rahul Dravid, was awarded an additional ₹2.5 crore bonus by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). However, he rejected the bonus money, saying he wanted equal pay as his support staff – bowling coach Paras Mhambrey, fielding coach T Dilip, and batting coach Vikram Rathore. As Dravid declined the bonus money, people can’t help but praise his class act online. Harsha Bhogle, who is an Indian cricket commentator and journalist, also shared his views on X after Dravid rejected the extra bonus money. A part of Bhogle’s post on X reads, “In a world where ‘come-look-at-me’ is a disease and paid PR is an acceptable way of life, Rahul Dravid makes humility look cool.” “Rahul Dravid- the man with integrity,” said X user Swathi Bellam while praising the outgoing head coach of India. Another individual said that Dravid is his “cricketing hero” for reasons like these. He went on to say that the former cricketer is the “True living legend”.
