Under Rahul Dravid’s leadership, Team India will begin a second high-octane series against Australia on Thursday in Nagpur.
It has been more than a year since former India batter Rahul Dravid succeeded Ravi Shastri as the men’s cricket team’s head coach.
After India’s humiliating exit from the T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates, in which the Men in Blue failed to advance to the knockout stages and also lost a tie to Pakistan for the first time in history, Dravid was brought in.
The situation has not been the same, even though many people anticipated that the team’s fortune would shift overnight. In fact, India has not been very good at ICC events.
They lost to Sri Lanka and Pakistan at the Asia Cup 2022 and England at the World T20 in Australia by 10 wickets, respectively.
Not only that, but the team also lost the Bangladesh ODI series 2-1, leading some to speculate that the guards might change.
That hasn’t been the case, however, as Dravid’s Team India is preparing for a second high-octane series against Australia, which starts on Thursday in Nagpur.
From India’s perspective, the series will be crucial because a victory in the eagerly anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy will help Rohit Sharma and co. secure a spot in the World Test Championship finals.
Sourav Ganguly, Dravid’s former teammate and legendary batter, shared his thoughts on the matter and stated that Dravid is still new to the organization and urged the fans to forgive the head coach.
Additionally, he emphasized Dravid’s significant contributions since assuming the role. The comments were made by Ganguly during an interview with Sportstar.
With the exception of the T20 World Cup, he has done very well. The team nonetheless reached the semifinals and was just one match from the championship match. He will succeed.
He only has one year, so you must give him time. A coach needs more time than that. He will transform this team.
Shubman Gill is developing into a very good battery, and a few others will follow suit. Surya (Suryakumar Yadav) has performed admirably in the shorter format.
Therefore, you must give Rahul some time. “He will succeed,” Ganguly said.
