The former Indian captain and ex-WC-winning coach, Rahul Dravid, has turned 52 today, i.e., January 11, 2025.

Dravid was also noted for his leadership, having captained India in multiple series and guided the team to important triumphs, including a Test series victory in the West Indies.
After retiring, Dravid pursued coaching, and under his leadership, India advanced to the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 Final, ICC World Test Championship Final 2023, and eventually claimed the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2024.
