Since becoming the head coach of the Indian men's cricket team, Rahul Dravid has had less success and more failures. The Indian team has achieved failure in big tournaments. In such a situation, one thing he has done better than the previous coach of the team, Ravi Shastri, in which he has given good opportunities to the players. Arshdeep Singh, Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer are the names that are the future of the Indian team.
In such a situation, Dravid while talking in the 'Cred Curious' episode of YouTube channel said that you care about the people you are coaching. You try to make personal connections. You want to coach them like a common man. Not as a successful cricketer and you want to see him succeed. In such a situation, sometimes you have to take difficult decisions.
Talking about the selection, Dravid said that every time we choose the playing XI, we disappoint people, but in such a situation, when the team loses, the players who do not get the place feel that we should have been there. You feel bad for those players too, but that's the hardest part of coaching. You also have to take decisions for the team which you personally don't want to take.
Dravid's time with the India A and U-19 teams before joining the Indian team was widely appreciated. The players of the team and Dravid got on very well with everyone, but Dravid made some decisions in the Indian men's senior cricket team which were widely criticized. These include dropping Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane and Ishant Sharma from the team last year - or holding talks with Wriddhiman Saha about his future.
