Rahul Dravid, affectionately known as “Indiranagar ka gunda,” displayed his raw emotions after India’s victory against South Africa in the T20 World Cup. His celebration with the Men in Blue showcased his joy and relief at the win, drawing praise from many social media users who grew up in the 90s.
The ICC T20 World Cup 2024 final marked the end of Dravid’s coaching era as India faced South Africa at the Kensington Oval. Despite a challenging situation where South Africa needed only 30 runs off 30 balls to win, India managed to secure their second T20 World Cup title. Former captain Virat Kohli, who scored 76 runs off 59 balls, was named player of the match and announced his retirement from T20Is along with Rohit Sharma.
In a nostalgic throwback to 2021, an advertisement featuring Jim Sarbh defending Dravid against claims of anger issues went viral on social media. The video showed Dravid in an aggressive avatar, shouting “Indiranagar ka gunda hu mai,” smashing objects around him while promoting timely credit card bill payments with premium rewards for users through CRED app.
