According to a Press Trust of India report, former India head coach Rahul Dravid recently refused an additional bonus of Rs 2.5 crore offered by the BCCI following India’s T20 World Cup triumph in the Americas. Despite the board’s intention to reward him with Rs 5 crore, equal to the players' bonuses, Dravid chose to accept only the due amount of Rs 2.5 crore, what the other coaching staff got.
