Team India's head coach Rahul Dravid is considered among the greatest players in the world. The 50-year-old Rahul Dravid represented India in 164 Tests and 340 ODIs and captained the team between 2005-07. Dravid is the fourth-highest run-scorer in the history of Test cricket. At the same time, he has also crossed the 10 thousand runs mark in ODIs.
Rahul Dravid celebrated his 50th birthday on Wednesday (January 11). He celebrated his birthday with the members of the Indian team in Kolkata. During the second ODI match between India and Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens on Thursday, there was a lot of discussion about Rahul Dravid's career. On one occasion, Rahul Dravid's records were seen on the TV screen, seeing which Dravid could not stop laughing. Dravid was also appointed as the head coach of the Indian men's team in November 2021. As head coach, Rahul Dravid has been under question since the T20 World Cup 2022. It is worth mentioning that under Dravid's guidance, the Indian team was successful in reaching the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2022, but they had to face defeat by 10 wickets at the hands of England in the important match. A review meeting of the BCCI was held earlier this month regarding that defeat, in which Rahul Dravid also participated.
