NEW DELHI: Former Indian head coach and cricket legend Rahul Dravid humorously hinted at a possible Bollywood stint during an awards function, suggesting he might play himself in his biopic if the money is good.
He shared this during a Q&A session, showcasing his characteristic wit. The session followed his recent achievement of leading the Indian cricket team to a long-awaited ICC T20 World Cup victory over South Africa, ending an 11-year ICC title drought.
During the session, the former India batter was asked 'Who will play Rahul Dravid in a Biopic?'. Dravid, with a big smile, humorously replied: "If the money is good enough, I will play the role".
Dravid, known for his calm demeanor and strategic brilliance, recounted the team’s journey to T20 World Cup success. He attributed their unbeaten run to consistent preparation and strategy. Reflecting on the approach, Dravid stated:
"Honestly, I did not want to do anything different. We ran a fantastic campaign in the one-day World Cup. The common consensus among the team was that we needed to create the same energy, vibe, and team atmosphere that we had before, and then just hope for a bit of luck."
He also spoke about his unique experience of participating in a World Cup campaign in India as a coach rather than a player. Dravid highlighted the enthusiasm of fans across the country:
"To travel all over this country and to experience the joy and passion of the fans was phenomenal. It was incredible to see what this game means to the people of this country."
Dravid’s witty comment about his potential Bollywood debut has amused fans and added to his charm, sparking interest in the idea of seeing him on the silver screen.
