NEW DELHI: India's outgoing head coach Rahul Dravid has declined the additional Rs 2.5 crore bonus offered by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for leading the team to its second T20 World Cup title. According to reports, Dravid chose to take the same Rs 2.5 crore bonus as his support staff to ensure equality.
Initially, the BCCI had decided to award Dravid a Rs 5 crore bonus, the same amount given to the playing squad members. However, Dravid requested a reduction in his bonus to align it with the Rs 2.5 crore given to the other support staff. This includes bowling coach Paras Mhambrey, fielding coach T. Dilip, and batting coach Vikram Rathore.
