Gautam Gambhir (Pic Source-X) After Rahul Dravid stepped down from the post, Gautam Gambhir has become the head of the Indian team and under his leadership, Team India has suffered two major historic defeats. Recently, India lost the Test series against New Zealand 0-3, after which many questions have been raised regarding Gambhir’s coaching. However, Rohit Sharma has defended him. Meanwhile, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has called Rahul Dravid a better coach than Gautam Gambhir. Basit said that Rahul Dravid was a smart coach who knew what kind of pitch India needed to prepare to win on home soil. In the video shared on his YouTube channel, Basit Ali said that Rahul Dravid’s mind is better than Gautam Gambhir. Dravid made pitches for four days where the ball took turn in the last few days. Now you are making such pitches, where even a person who is not a regular spinner is getting a lot from the first day. Dravid knew the psychology of players – Basit Ali Basit Ali also said that Rahul Dravid was a good coach. He knew the psychology of the players. If you ask Virat Kohli to play T10 and T20 in Test cricket, then it is not fair in any way. Let us tell you that Gambhir’s tenure as India’s head coach has had a disappointing start. Under his leadership, the Indian team lost its bilateral series against Sri Lanka in 27 years. After the New Zealand series, Team India will now tour Australia for the Border-Gavaskar series in November. India needs to win this series 4-0 to make it to the World Test Championship final.
‘There is no need to concentrate it in the hands of a few people’, Rahul Dravid’s big statement on Indian cricket came out
We don’t need to concentrate cricket in the hands of a few people, we need to make it egalitarian – Rahul Dravid Rahul Dravid (Image Credit- Twitter X) Under the coaching of Rahul Dravid, the Indian team won the T20 World Cup 2024 title in June. After this his tenure ended and now he will be seen as the head coach of Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025. Meanwhile, he has made a big statement about Indian cricket. He believes that Indian cricket is very powerful. Let us tell you that there is no dearth of talented cricketers in India and this is because cricket is being played all over India and many such young players have emerged from there who have performed brilliantly in IPL and domestic tournaments. After this, some of them have made their name at the international level. Former Indian coach Rahul Dravid believes that these young players are responsible for the change that has come in Indian cricket. Indian cricket is very strong and powerful- Rahul Dravid Dravid was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo, “If you look at Indian cricket today, Indian cricket is very strong, it is very powerful. One of the big reasons for this is that talent comes from everywhere, from all over the country. Even if there were talented boys in small places, they had to come to big cities to play cricket, but today I think you see in Indian cricket that boys are coming from everywhere.” He continued, “You just look at the standard of Ranji Trophy. In the old days when you played in South Zone apart from Hyderabad or Tamil Nadu, I think it would be fair to say that not many other teams can take it lightly, but certainly you can take it a little more lightly.” Dravid said, we need to strengthen the clubs. We don’t need to concentrate cricket in the hands of a few people. We need to make cricket egalitarian, we need it to be everywhere. You can’t have talent or facilities concentrated in only one or two places. To get the best out of the talent, we need to ensure that young players are getting access to good infrastructure in every part.

(Image Source: BCCI/X) Former head coach of Team India Rahul Dravid has made a big statement about Indian team’s star batsmen Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Dravid said that the truth is completely opposite to what fans think about captain Rohit Sharma, star batsman Virat Kohli or other big players. Dravid also made it clear that there is no ego or any kind of problem between the big players. While talking to Star Sports, the former Indian batsman said, “I believe that teams are really led by a group of senior players. They are led by the captain. So, I think it was a privilege to work with Rohit. I think he has been a fantastic leader in these two and a half years. People are really attracted to him and the team. I think that makes a lot of difference.” Managing high profile cricketers is not a difficult task- Rahul Dravid During this, Dravid also said that he never found it difficult to manage high-profile cricketers. He said, “There were many other senior players in the team, be it Virat, Jasprit Bumrah or Ravichandran Ashwin in Test cricket. Many Indian cricketers are big names, they are superstars and many people follow them. Sometimes people think that they will have a lot of ego and it will be very difficult to manage them. But actually it is just the opposite. A lot of these superstars are actually very humble about their preparation. They are humble about their work. And that is why they are superstars.” Dravid further said, “Look at 37-year-old Ashwin today. Even at this age, he is ready to adapt. He is ready to learn. This is just an example. Of course, at times you have to manage him, manage his body, manage the workload and there are many such things. But honestly, it was not very difficult. I had a good group of people around me and I am happy that we were able to create a good atmosphere. But a lot of credit for this goes to the captain and the seniors.”

I think it is a matter of pride for cricket to be a part of the Olympics.” He further said, “I have full faith that BCCI and the players and coaches of that time will be ready.
