ODI World Cup 2023 is to start from October 5. The Indian team will look to end the 10-year ICC trophy drought. The 15-member team under the leadership of Rohit Sharma has also been announced. This time, the pair of Rohit and coach Rahul Dravid will have the responsibility of making India win the World Cup for the first time since 2011. However, big news is coming before the World Cup. According to media reports, Dravid may resign from his post after the World Cup. His two-year contract is ending after the World Cup. In such a situation, he can step down from this post.
Consideration is being made to hire different coaches
According to media reports, BCCI has demanded Dravid to make India the champion and end the ICC trophy drought, and even reaching the semi-finals will not be considered a success for Team India. If Team India does not win the title, then after the World Cup the board can once again search for a head coach. It will be interesting to see whether Dravid considers renewing the contract or not. Not only this but the idea of having two different coaches after two different captains is also being considered. In such a situation, Dravid can also be continued in the role of coach in one format.
Rahul Dravid can remain the coach of the Test team
Immediately after the World Cup, India has to play a Test series against South Africa (away) and England (home). In such a situation, Dravid can be continued as the coach of red ball cricket. In the next World Cup cycle also, BCCI can consider having separate coaches for red-ball and white-ball cricket for Team India. This is exactly what is happening in English cricket at present. England's coach in Test is Brendon McCullum, while in white ball cricket, Matthew Mott is handling the responsibility of England's coach.
Responsibility of ODI-T20 to a different coach
Dravid can be relieved from the heavy workload and shifted to the Test side, while the responsibility of ODI-T20 can be given to a coach who is also knowledgeable about T20. This can also be discussed with Ashish Nehra, who is coaching Gujarat Titans in IPL. Under the supervision of Nehra, the Gujarat team became the winner in the 2022 IPL, while in 2023 the team reached the final. However, when Nehra was asked about the role of Team India's coach, he flatly denied it. He had said that he had no desire at all. Nehar's contract with Gujarat ends in 2025.
Currently, the team management's focus is on the World Cup
A BCCI official told news agency PTI on the condition of anonymity that suppose India wins the World Cup, then Dravid himself would not want to renew the contract, as he would like to end his tenure on a high note. But if you ask me, after the World Cup, BCCI should seriously think about having different coaches for different formats. He should ask Rahul to continue as the red ball coach. At this point, be it Dravid or the top brass of the board, they would like to focus on the World Cup starting October 5.
Dravid made many shocking decisions
While Dravid's appointment as Team India's coach after Ravi Shastri's ouster left fans happy, he hasn't made an impression as a white-ball cricket coach that would make anyone consider him a good strategist. Be forced to obey. He is seen as someone who tends to be defensive about making tough decisions in T20s and ODIs. Not only this, he and the team management's decision to keep Ravichandran Ashwin out of the playing 11 during the 2023 World Test Championship final was also heavily criticized.
T20 World Cup to be held next year
Apart from this, the lack of a right-arm spinner (finger or wrist) in the current World Cup squad as well as the decision to include KL Rahul in the squad without proving match-fitness could also bother him. While a lot will depend on the team's World Cup performance, statistics suggest that Dravid's decisions as coach in the white-ball format have not been satisfactory. According to media reports, given the T20 World Cup next year, coaching in this format can be given to someone who has an aggressive approach. Who can instill confidence in Team India in the absence of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma?
There was controversy even when Dravid was captain in 2007
History is replete with such incidents that if a team loses in a major tournament, the blame always falls on the coach. This has happened under Dravid's captaincy also. Greg Chappell had to submit his resignation after Team India's humiliating defeat in the 2007 ODI World Cup. At the same time, Shastri also left the post after the 2021 T20 World Cup. At the same time, Dravid himself would not want the way his captaincy was questioned in 2007, even if he was his coach. Dravid was highly praised as the President of NCA. He would like Rohit & Co to win the World Cup so that the moments he could not enjoy as captain, he can relive as a coach.
