"Thanks A Lot Buddy": Rahul Dravid Loses Cool At Reporter Over 97 Test Question
NDTV
India head coach Rahul Dravid wasn't impressed with a reporter's question on the 97 Test the team played in Barbados against West Indies.
India head coach Rahul Dravid was reminded of some bitter memories as he attended the press conference ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024 match against Afghanistan. Dravid, who took up the coaching job on the back of an astounding career with the Indian team, doesn't have the best of numbers behind him in Barbados as a player. As a reporter reminded him of his poor stats at the venue, the India head coach was visibly irked and lost his cool at the question.
Dravid gave the reporter the complete gyan of his psyche, saying he is someone who moves on quickly and is only looking to do well as a coach, not thinking about his performances as a player in the past.
Reporter: "Rahul, you as a player, you have played here. Not the best memories of the 97 Test?"
Dravid: "Geez, thanks a lot buddy! I have had some other decent memories here as well."
Reporter: "That is actually my question. A chance for you to probably make new and much better memories tomorrow?"
