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. Over the years, the 51-year-old has seen a lot of success but also some heartache, including losses to England in the T20 World Cup 2022 and to Australia in the finals of the World Test Championship 2023 and the ODI World Cup 2023. 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.

‘It wasn’t easy for me at all’ Ishan Kishan on being constantly ignored from the Indian cricket team
Ishan Kishan is out of Team India since December 2023 Ishan Kishan (Image Credit- Twitter X) In December 2023, when the Indian cricket team was on a tour of South Africa, wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan left the tour midway and returned home due to personal reasons. After this, he was not selected in the T20 series against Afghanistan in January, and Kishan, who at one time seemed to be easily making a place in the T20 World Cup 2024, was not selected for this tournament as well. So the fans were more surprised when Team India was selected for the five-match series for the Zimbabwe tour. In this series, the selection committee has shown faith in Jitesh Sharma and Dhruv Jurel instead of Kishan. Now, after being continuously ignored from Team India, Ishan Kishan has made a big statement. Kishan says that this time is not at all easy for him. Ishan Kishan broke his silence regarding the selection Let us tell you that in a conversation with Indian Express, Ishan Kishan said about not being able to make a place in the Indian cricket team – This is disappointing. Today I do not want to say that everything is fine. It was not easy for me at all. You endure a lot. All this kept going on in my mind that what happened, why did it happen, why did it happen to me. All these things happened to me when I was performing. Kishan further said- I was scoring runs at that time, and even then I was only on the bench. All these things happen in a team sport. But I felt tired from traveling with the team, and I was not feeling well. Therefore, I decided to take a break from the game. But sadly no one understood this except my family.

Know why there is only one star on the Indian team’s jersey in the first T20 match against Zimbabwe?
The first match of the T20 series between India and Zimbabwe is being played today on 6th July in Harare. Abhishek Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) The first match of the T20 series between India and Zimbabwe (IND vs ZIM) is being played today on 6th July, Saturday at Harare Sports Club. In this match, the Indian team has won the toss and decided to bowl against host Zimbabwe. However, before this match, when Team India came on the field for the national anthem, the players of Team India were seen wearing a jersey with one star. So as soon as the players were seen in the jersey with one star, the fans were very curious to know why India came to play wearing a jersey with one star? Because of this, Team India came to play wearing a jersey with a star Let us tell you that the star on the Indian team’s jersey represents the World Cup title won by the team. Recently, Team India won the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup after about 17 years and won the trophy for the second time. After winning this T20 World Cup, Team India’s jersey was supposed to have two stars, but the players of the team were seen playing wearing jerseys with only one star. If we know the reason behind this, then the team which is currently on a tour to Zimbabwe had already flown here. But when Team India’s T20 World Cup victory was celebrated at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, the team players’ jerseys had two stars. Because the first players to play on the Zimbabwe tour had already reached here, they could not get the new jersey with two stars. This has happened only due to timing. On the other hand, if we tell you the status of this match, then India has won the toss and decided to bowl in the first match of the T20 series. Young players Abhishek Sharma, Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel are making their debut in this match from India’s side.
