The India National Cricket Team won the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 with a win over its South African counterparts. Pleased with their performances and the glory for the nation, BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) announced a hefty INR 125 Cr as a grand bonus for the team and support staff including reserves and coaching staff. Rahul Dravid, head coach of the team at the time was entitled to INR 5 Cr, while his assistants were entitled to INR 2.5 Cr reward as part of the mega bonus. But the former cricketer refused an ‘extra’ INR 2.5 Cr. as per the reports. He requested for equal distribution of bonuses amongst the Coaching staff, giving away 50% of his reward. Here is how fans react to the heartwarming gesture shown by Rahul Dravid.
