South Africa won the three-match Test series 2–1. Rahul Dravid (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former Indian team head coach Rahul Dravid recently revealed that the Indian team could not win the Test series in South Africa and this was the lowest point of his coaching tenure. Let us tell you, Rahul Dravid was appointed the head coach of the Indian team in November 2021. He was given this important post just before the tour of South Africa. The Indian team started this tour quite well and defeated South Africa by 113 runs in the first Test at Centurion. Many cricket fans thought that the Indian team would easily win this Test series but South Africa made a very good comeback and won the next two matches. Recalling this time, Rahul Dravid told Star Sports, ‘If you ask me what was my lowest point, I would say the South Africa Test series at the beginning of my career. We won the first Test against South Africa in Centurion. After this, we were playing the second and third Test matches. We had never won a series in South Africa and this was a big opportunity for all of us. There were some senior players who were not available.’ India lost 2-1 against South Africa Rahul Dravid further said, ‘Rohit Sharma was injured and some senior players were not in that series. We were very close in both the Tests. We had a great opportunity in the third innings of both these Tests because we had scored a very good score and could have won the match. However, South Africa played very well. They chased the target in the fourth innings and we lost the match. This was the lowest point of my career. I felt bad that we were ahead in this series but still could not win it.’ South Africa won the three-match Test series 2-1. The Indian team players failed to perform well in the second and third Tests.

I like him a lot and we will give responsibility in the top order in Tests to players who have strong body language. Conrad further said on his playing at number three in Test cricket- Tristan is going to get a good chance at that number. I think his body and technique are very good, which can show good play at this number. I am going to give him a good chance at this number.
