‘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.

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.

“Becoming the head coach of India is not challenging…”, why did Virender Sehwag give such a statement…?

India has recently won the T20 World Cup and the players know their roles – Virender Sehwag Virender Sehwag (Photo Source: X/Twitter) After the T20 World Cup 2024, Gautam Gambhir replaced Rahul Dravid as the head coach of India in all three formats. Gambhir’s tenure as head coach has been mixed so far. Team India won the T20 series 3-0 in the Sri Lanka tour. At the same time, they had to face a 0-2 defeat in the ODI series. Meanwhile, recently former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag gave his opinion on the role of the head coach. Sehwag believes that this responsibility is not as difficult as it may seem from the outside. He also explained the reason why the players will have more burden than Gautam Gambhir. Gambhir is there to help them all- Virender Sehwag Talking about the interview given to Amar Ujala, Virender Sehwag said, I don’t think it is a challenging role because it involves other professionals as well. The team has recently won the T20 World Cup and the players know their roles. Gambhir’s arrival will give clarity to the players. It will be an added advantage. The challenges will be less for Gambhir and more for the players, because now they will feel that after the T20 World Cup they have to win the Champions Trophy or the WTC Final or the World Cup. But of course, Gambhir is there to help all of them. Sehwag never wants to become the head coach of Team India Virender Sehwag further revealed why he would never accept the role of Indian coach. However, he has expressed his desire to become an IPL coach. Let us tell you, Sehwag was the mentor of the franchise from 2016 to 2018 after representing Punjab Kings in 2014 and 2015. Not with the Indian cricket team, but if the IPL gives me a coaching opportunity, I can definitely consider it. If I become the head coach of India, I will have to return to the same routine that I have done for 15 years. To play for the Indian team, you have to stay out for 8-9 months a year. If I become the head coach of India, staying away from my children will be the biggest challenge for me. I will not be able to give time to my children. But yes, if the role of coach or mentor is available in the IPL, I can accept it.

Shan Masood also stressed the importance of gaining more knowledge about Test cricket, which has been lacking in the Pakistani team, especially at the domestic level, for a long time. The Pakistani captain further explained the reason why the team proved weak against Bangladesh. We have to respect the opposition and Bangladesh had better discipline in both Test matches. We have to look at ourselves and the mistakes we have made in this series, and we have made a lot of mistakes. In terms of fitness, whether mental or physical, the match lasts for four or five days. What we have shown in this series is that we need to work on it.

Once again the host batsmen played bad shots. The batsmen’s bat was going away from their body. We see this in T20 or T10. When a player gets out like this, the coach should question him.’ Here is the video: Pakistan is in Losing Position as Bangladesh Strikes Back🔥#PAKvsBAN #ShanMasood #PakistanCricket pic.twitter.com/7VQHuCdcij — Ahmad Shahzad 🇵🇰 (@iamAhmadshahzad) September 2, 2024 Ahmed Shahzad further said, ‘You are getting out on these shots in Test cricket. You are not learning from your own mistakes. I think you do not have the art. Or you are deliberately trying to make this mistake continuously. In this way you are playing with the emotions of the people of the country.’ Ahmed Shahzad had earlier said, ‘I will hold the PCB responsible for this, not the players. Because they had to take the decision and they have not done their job well. We thought that we would easily defeat the Bangladesh team but it did not happen.
