India U-19 squad created history by becoming the first team to lift the World Cup twice. Following the victory, Virender Sehwag opined that Rahul Dravid was the best coach in the world at present.

Speaking exclusively to India TV, Sehwag said, “In his 16 or 17 years career, Rahul Dravid never managed to get his hands around the world cup trophy, but as a coach, he has lived that dream with the help of this young U-19 team."

He further added, "Dravid is world's best coach at the moment and as a player, his records speak for themselves. He prepared his wards for the big game and taught him the nuances to handle the pressure of a big final."

Having himself played in two World Cup finals, Sehwag is aware of the pressure of the big day. "More than physical, it's the mental pressure which players need to absorb of playing the final of a world event. Every player who dreams of representing India has a long-live dream of winning the coveted world cup in his career,” Sehwag concluded to India TV.
