Dravid took charge of the national team in November 2021, following the team’s Super 12 stage exit in the 2021 T20 World Cup, replacing Ravi Shastri. Before this, the former Indian captain was head of cricket at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) and coached the Indian U-19 and A teams for several years.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has yet to name Dravid’s successor, with Gautam Gambhir rumored to be the favorite for the top job.
