Ending the Rahul Dravid chapter in Indian cricket?
Ending the Rahul Dravid chapter in Indian cricket?
India has not been able to win the ICC title
for a long time. Team India has also given disappointment in the last Asia Cup, and T-20 World Cup. Team
India could not present any outstanding performance under Rahul Dravid's coaching. Now the Indian media
is giving glimpses if the speculations come true, the Dravidian chapter is about to end in Indian
cricket. Any new coach can come to Dravid's place.
Hardik Pandya's leadership in the T20 format is almost ripe. Hardik has been rumoured to replace Rohit Sharma in this position for quite some time. But it is certain that Rohit Sharma will remain in Test and ODI cricket. This is what has been glimpsed by board sources recently. The board leaders want to rely on Hitman in this year's One Day World Cup as well. However, there may be changes in the coaching staff. The Indian media is giving such a glimpse.
Last Sunday, the board leaders sat in the team's performance review meeting in Mumbai. Team India coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit Sharma were present in the meeting. And this meeting signalled the end of the Dravidian era. It is reported that his contract will not be extended after the World Cup. This ODI World Cup is a trial by fire for Rahul Dravid. If he fails, he may be fired from the position of coach, and if he wins the World Cup, his tenure as a coach may increase as a reward.
There is even a glimpse of who will replace Dravid. According to board sources, VVS Laxman will be replaced by Dravid. Laxman has coached Indian cricketers before. During the Corona Pandemic, when Dravid contracted Corona, Laxman was officiating in his place. So if everything goes well, Laxman will get the responsibility after the next ODI World Cup. This is the buzz in Indian cricket now.
It should be noted that this year the yo-yo test has returned to ensure the fitness of the cricketers. Hexa Scan is also being imported. And according to the sources of the cricket board, Dravid will not be associated with BCCI coaching after the 2023 ODI World Cup. His contract is set to expire after this November. Dravid's fate depends on the success of the next few series and the World Cup.
