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.
