The appointment of Rahul Dravid as the head coach of Team India is being seen as the beginning of a new era. Be it on game days or his stint at the Nationals Cricket Academy, Dravid has always been praised by his colleagues and fans. He was praised for his temperament, representing the country. Later when he took over the task of nurturing young cricketing talent, he played a big role in changing the face of Indian cricket.
And now, Dravid will be back in the dressing room as the head coach and his former teammate Virender Sehwag feels that the former’s presence will bring stability to the team.

In a conversation with Cricbuzz, Sehwag said that players who did not get much support from the team management in the past would be confident that they will not be dropped after some poor performances.
“His presence will bring stability, which we talk about all the time. Players will have the belief that ‘I will get a few more chances before I drop’. Because he has played at this level and he always believes that a player should be given enough chances before he gets dropped.”
“We have been discussing for some time that the players are not convinced, the management does not support the players, they are dropped after just one game. Perhaps Rahul Dravid is also brilliant in the sense that he will give a player a full chance before he sits out,” concluded Sehwag.
The BCCI on Wednesday confirmed the appointment of Dravid, who will replace Ravi Shastri after the conclusion of the ongoing T20 World Cup in UAE and Oman. The former’s first assignment will be the upcoming home series against New Zealand, which begins on November 17.

Speaking about his appointment, the former captain said that he is looking forward to unlocking the potential of the team.
“It is an absolute honor to be appointed as the new head coach of the Indian cricket team and I am really looking forward to the role. Under Mr Shastri’s leadership, the team has performed extremely well, and I look forward to working with the team to take this forward,” Dravid was quoted as saying by BCCI.
