Rahul Dravid’s coaching renewal 

Rahul was chosen as the coach of India for the period Nov 2021-Nov 2023. Since his stint came to an end, Indian management thought of the next guru of the side. It seemed as if India did not want to leave Dravid soon and wanted him to coach India till the end of the T20 WC 2024. Reports suggest that the discussion regarding the same would be done after the conclusion of India’s tour of SA.

Meanwhile, India decided to appoint a new coaching staff for the limited overs series against SA. In his free time, Dravid made some time and watched his son play in the match against Uttarakhand in Cooch Behar Trophy. Everyone is eager to watch Samit in the Indian ranks in the upcoming days, who seems to be very talented at a young age.
