Tauranga (New Zealand): The elated youngsters of the India U-19 cannot keep calm. And why should they? They have achieved a huge feat, have created a record by winning the Under 19 cricket World Cup for the fourth time, beating Australia by eight wickets to lift the trophy at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand.
Head coach Rahul Dravid deserves all the applause and appreciation for mentoring the team, but the man of the hour thinks otherwise. Embarrassed by all the attention that is coming his way, he said: "I am really proud of the boys and the effort they put in. I don't want to mention names, but everyone in the support staff has put in a great effort."
And as expected, Twitter can't keep calm and is showering all the love for Dravid and the team.
Safest hands of Dravid, tweets Virender Sehwag and we can't agree more!

For some, this will be the biggest moment in their lives. But as Rahul Dravid said, they must look upon this as a stepping stone. #ICCU19CWC — Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) February 3, 2018
Rahul Dravid cracks me up. Speaks during interview about how embarrassed he is sometimes as coach of India U-19 because too much attention is put on him because of his stature rather than the players and support staff. Class act. World cricket needs more of him. — Peter Della Penna (@PeterDellaPenna) February 3, 2018
After a win :
Rahul Dravid : It's embarrassing that I get a lot of credit & attention around whole team's success. There are a lot of members in the support staff who have been equally valuable & wonderful bench of players.
Ravi Shastri : Where are the experts now?#Difference — Abhishek __ #408 (@ImAbhishek7_) February 3, 2018
And remember the moment when Dravid is on air while the young boys are cheering on? We only wonder what will be the scenes in the dressing room today.

While the team celebrates, coach Dravid has a word for the youngsters: "I am really proud of the boys and the effort they put in. Proud of the effort they put in and couldn't be happier for them. Hopefully, it's a memory they cherish for a long, long time, but hopefully not the lasting memory and they have many more great moments and bigger things in future."
