In the year 2024, Team India won the T20I World Cup title after 17 years under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Earlier, the Indian team had missed winning the ODI World Cup title in the year 2023. In the final, it had to face defeat against Australia, but Team India performed brilliantly in this World Cup. The hand behind this success of Team India was that coach, who was once called the ‘Wall of India’. Former Team India captain Rahul Dravid was made the head coach of Team India in the year 2021. According to reports, Dravid is currently one of the richest coaches in India and his net worth is around Rs 320 crore.

Team India’s former veteran cricketer Rahul Dravid was the head coach of the team from November 2021 to June 2024. He left the post of coach after winning the T20I World Cup in 2024. According to reports, during coaching, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) used to pay Rahul Dravid an annual salary of Rs 12 crore. This salary was the highest among any cricket coach in the world. Earlier, the highest salary was Ravi Shastri. His annual salary was around Rs 9.5 crore. Rahul Dravid’s salary was much higher than that of many top cricketers including veteran players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

Former captain Rahul Dravid, who scored more than 24 thousand runs in international cricket, apart from coaching, also earns from advertisements. After leaving the coaching of Team India, Rahul Dravid is currently the coach of Rajasthan Royals. According to reports, Rajasthan Royals pays him a salary of around Rs 3 crore in a season. Apart from this, Dravid also earns more from advertisements. Rahul Dravid has a luxurious house worth Rs 4.2 crore in Koramangala, Bangalore.
