Before retiring as a player in 2012, Dravid scored 13,288 runs in 164 Tests, second only to the legendary Sachin Tendulkar for India and fourth overall in the world rankings.

Dravid and almost all his World Cup players took a break after the tournament.

Suryakumar Yadav is captaining a second-string India against Australia in a five-match T20 series.

Former batsman VVS Laxman is coaching the team, which leads the series 2-1.

Laxman has stood in whenever Dravid takes a break.
