"It just comes out. You do not plan these things," Dravid said during a Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) interview with Star Sports.

Dravid revealed that it was a relief over India's triumph, after their recent near-misses in the ICC tournaments. In 2023, India made the finals of two senior Men's ICC events, the World Test Championship final and the Cricket World Cup, but lost to Australia on both occasions.

"Not only in that tournament. I had been around for two and a half to three years. And we had come close several times: the semi-finals of the last T20 World Cup in Australia [in 2022], the finals of the World Test Championship, and the 50-over World Cup in India," said Dravid.

"We were just not able to cross the line at the critical moment We were playing good cricket, we were playing strength to strength. But even in those situations, you need a bit of luck, a bit of destiny to go your way and I think that was with us. In some other tournaments, unfortunately, it was not with us. A lot of that was that happiness and relief coming out," he concluded.

Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir is the new head coach of Team India and he didn't have the best start. India lost to Sri Lanka in the ODI series. Dravid had a successful tenure as India's head coach and the pressure is upon Gambhir now to deliver on big occasions.
