"Till yesterday news reports were saying Rahul Dravid was going to stay at the NCA. Yet early morning news broke of him becoming India coach. So what happened around midnight? My best guess is Lord Shardul blew candles on his birthday cake wishing to be coached by Rahul bhai.” Wasim Jaffer Tweeted.
Notably, Shardul Thakur celebrated his 30th birthday in the Chennai Super Kings camp. His birthday celebrations were doubled as his team also won the IPL 2021.
