Former India cricket team head coach Rahul Dravid was the latest among the legends to be spotted at the Paris Olympics.

Heartbreak for India!

Bopanna and Balaji were no match for their opponents and lost the game 5-7, 2-6. While the seasoned Bopanna looked out of touch throughout the game, Balaji was the only one putting up a fight. The opponents however used Bopanna’s form in their favour and targeted him, while forcing Balaji to either commit errors or hit the nets only.

The Games will be the last one for Bopanna, as he has already announced his decision to retire after the Paris Olympics.  

What’s next for Rahul Dravid?

As for Dravid, the former Indian coach is now on a break as he has finished his stint with the Men in Blue. While reports claim that Dravid is all set to return to the IPL circuit and is in touch with the Rajasthan Royals, it remains to be seen what is in store for Jammy.
