The Karnataka Legislative Assembly passed a resolution today, extending congratulations to the Indian cricket team and former head coach Rahul Dravid for their victorious campaign in the T20 World Cup held in the West Indies last month.
In a thrilling final, India triumphed over South Africa by 7 runs, marking their first ICC trophy in 11 years. This achievement was particularly poignant as it concluded Dravid’s tenure as the national team’s head coach.
Assembly Speaker U.T. Khader presented the resolution, lauding Rahul Dravid and the Men in Blue for their remarkable accomplishment.
“The Indian cricket team, after a gap of 11 years, won an ICC trophy by winning the T20 World Cup. It is a matter of great pride for all of us that the Indian team achieved this feat under the guidance of Rahul Dravid, a proud son of Karnataka and a legendary figure in the cricket world known as ‘The Wall’.
“On behalf of the people of Karnataka, we congratulate Team India, under the leadership of Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid, for winning the World Cup for the country,” Khader said.
Earlier today, BJP MLA and former minister S. Suresh Kumar had called upon the Congress government to adopt a resolution applauding Rahul Dravid and the Indian cricket team for their victorious campaign in the World Cup.
