Aditi Dravid is a famous actress of Marathi film industry. Very few people would know that she is the niece of former Indian cricketer and Team India head coach Rahul Dravid. Aditi is also one of those crores of Indian fans who were heartbroken after the defeat of the Indian team in the final of the World Cup 2023 (CWC 2023). Aditi felt very bad not only for India’s defeat but also for her uncle Rahul, who had worked hard to make the team a winner.
According to Aditi, the Indian coach himself had dreamed of winning the trophy with the team, to achieve which he gave his all but in the end he was disappointed.
In an interview given to Times of India, the Marathi actress had said,
Rahul Dravid is my uncle. My uncle has been working in the field of cricket for the last 30-35 years. Vinayak Dravid (my father) is a Ranji Trophy player himself. He and I have a relationship because of cricket. I became very emotional. I feel very bad for them today. His tenure as head coach is also coming to an end. This was his last World Cup. He is very hardworking and has worked very hard. I think he is the best coach. Right now I have not thought about my future- Rahul Dravid
In the press conference held after the final match, Dravid had said that his entire focus was to help the Indian team reach its target and he had not yet thought about his future as a coach. He had said,
At this point, my entire focus was on this campaign and there was nothing else on my mind and I didn’t give any thought to what would happen in the future. To be honest, I haven’t thought about it. I think all our energy was focused on this tournament and this match.
