New Delhi: Fans as well as cricketers, former and present, took to Twitter, Tuesday to congratulate Rahul Dravid after India demolished Pakistan to reach the final of the U-19 World Cup at Christchurch. Most of them felt that without the ‘behind the scenes’ work done by the ‘Wall’, the colts wouldn’t have been able to put up such a dominating show.
Indian Test all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja wrote, “Salute to the hard work of Rahul Dravid in creating a team that is strong on all aspects. Be it fielding, batting or bowling. Cricket fan Mayank Nema said, “This is Rahul Dravid’s team. No nonsense and no arrogance. Simply silent killers.”
Rohit Sharma also congratulated the Prithvi Shaw-led India colts. Rohit himself had been a part of an U-19 World Cup final in 2006 where they lost to Pakistan in the final.
“We have been following their (U-19 team). I think they have played some really good cricket. With Rahul Dravid being the coach, we know these guys will do their best,” Rohit said. “Every game they have played, they have destroyed the opposition and that is always good to see. I just hope that they will do the same in the final as well.”
