The promise and hope with which Rahul Dravid was made the coach of Team India about two and a half years ago, he fulfilled it at the last stage of his journey. After making Team India the T20 World Champion, Rahul Dravid's journey also ended. Dravid had already announced that he will no longer be the coach of Team India after the T20 World Cup. Now Gautam Gambhir has taken his place in the Indian dressing room but the question in everyone's mind is what will Rahul Dravid do next? Different reports have come regarding coaching in IPL and now his name has also started getting associated with the England cricket team.
Yes, you read it absolutely right. Rahul Dravid, who was the head coach of the Indian team for two and a half years, refused to take it forward. It is believed that he did not want to travel continuously as the coach of the national team throughout the year and hence he took a break from coaching the Indian team. In such a situation, the chances of Dravid becoming the coach of any national team seem less, but such a claim has been made after the coach's position in the England cricket team became vacant.
In fact, after England's failure in the ODI and T20 World Cup, its limited overs coach Matthew Mott recently resigned. Team India had finished England's game in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup. Since then, the names of different veterans are being discussed for his place. When former captain Eoin Morgan, who made England the world champion in 2019, was asked about this, he also took Dravid's name. Morgan said that a team like England would need the best coach in the world and at this time, in his view, Ricky Ponting, Rahul Dravid, Stephen Fleming and Brendon McCullum are the best options.
Rahul Dravid had taken a break from coaching the national team, but it remains to be seen whether he will think about it after getting responsibility only in ODI and T20 formats. Currently, the responsibility of England has been handed over to its assistant coach Marcus Trescothick. As far as Dravid is concerned, some reports have claimed that the current IPL champion Kolkata Knight Riders can hire him as a mentor. Remember that KKR's mentor Gautam Gambhir is the new coach of Team India.
