ICC U-19 World Cup: Rahul Dravid says team's hard work paid off

Rahul Dravid, the man of the moment, who coached India U-19 team to their fourth World Cup triumph credited the hard work of the entire team. Dravid became India's U19 coach in 2015 and also took the team to the final in the previous edition in 2016, which they lost to West Indies.

"We have to give credit to the boys. Their hard work paid off and I am very happy for them. The experience they got in this tournament will surely help them in future," Dravid told India Today in an exclusive chat.

Dravid further refused to take the credit of the victory and said it was the system and process which were more important.

"It was hard work of the entire support staff, the selection committee and the BCCI. It was the effort of the entire team and credit of victory must go to the system not just me as coach. It's okay to give credit to the coach but system and process are also important. The standard that we have set we will have to maintain that," Dravid added.
