High Expectations, Low Returns: Dravid Disappoints As Team India Coach
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.
As a coach, Dravid had a smooth start as he along with new captain Rohit saw the team win the home series against New Zealand, the West Indies, and Sri Lanka. However, things started going downhill when India lost the three-match Test series in South Africa despite winning the first match. The Dravid-coached team then lost the rescheduled Test against England in Birmingham.
