When Rahul Dravid took over as India's head coach, he was seen as a 'crisis man' by fans and experts, who expected him to bail Team India out from all the off-field controversies and also end the ICC titles drought. However, his tenure as a coach so far has been very disappointing and has invited severe criticism before the upcoming ODI World Cup. Dravid replaced Ravi Shastri as India's head coach after a successful stint as the head of cricket at NCA, where he oversaw a successful India U-19 and A tour programme. He was initially hesitant to take on a coaching role with the senior team full of stars, but he was convinced by BCCI officials and he later accepted the job.
