Rahul Dravid had an illustrious cricket career, known for his consistent top-order batting and reliable slip fielding. After retiring as a player, he coached India’s U-19 team to a World Cup victory in 2018 and later led the senior squad to the T20 World Cup title last year, ending an ICC trophy drought since 2013. He also guided the team to the ODI World Cup final, their first since 2011.
Justice Chandrachud retired as Chief Justice of India on November 11. Throughout his tenure, he delivered over 500 judgments, including landmark rulings on the Ayodhya dispute and the electoral bonds case. Justice Sanjeev Khanna succeeded him in the country’s highest judicial position.
