India will start their ICC T20 World Cup campaign next week, and it was already confirmed that this will be Ravi Shastri’s last assignment as India’s head coach. Along with Shastri, the whole support staff is set to get overhauled.
According to various news outlets, Dravid is set to become the new head coach of India. Rahul has been BCCI’s favourite contender for a long time and looks like Dravid has finally given a nod. His work in the NCA is highly appreciated, and he is considered the best man to lead India in the transition phase.
It is worth mentioning that during Shastri’s regime, Dravid was appointed as India’s batting consultant. However, Ravi wanted his own staff, and Rahul couldn’t join the team. Now when Shastri is going and Virat has stepped down as the T20 captain, Dravid is in line to become India’s next head coach.
