At the same time, the drought of ICC trophy ended after 11 years. After this, Rahul Dravid’s tenure as the coach of Team India ended. Rahul Dravid took over as the head coach of Team India at the end of 2021 and was with the team till the T20 World Cup 2024.

How was Rahul Dravid’s experience of working with many captains Rahul Dravid’s tenure as head coach was for two years. His tenure was ending after the ODI World Cup 2023, but as the T20 World Cup 2024 approached, the BCCI extended his tenure. Dravid could have re-applied for the coaching position if he wanted, but he did not want to re-apply due to family commitments. Now Rahul Dravid has given a statement in which he has shared his experience of working with many captains during his tenure. “We really had to manage the workload of the players through all three different formats. Some players were injured, and because of that I had to work with 5-6 captains in 8-10 months. It was definitely something I had not imagined. I am actually someone who likes continuity. I don’t like chopping and changing too much. Because I believe that creates a lot of instability and doesn’t create a very good environment.” I feel I am part of a team whose responsibility is to create the right professional, safe, protected environment where there is really no fear of failure but enough challenges to push people. That has always been my endeavour.

She got hit but she stood there in pain, she has a great attitude and is a really hard-working cricketer. I was very happy for her when she stumped Brits. Munish further said about the team’s fielding- It is difficult to catch the ball when it is drizzling.
