Dravid has retired as a satisfied man after winning the T 20. The journalists were left in splits when Dravid said that he was unemployed and Dravid further quipped – “Any offers?” Yes Rahul Dravid is now unemployed.
The hunt for the next Indian cricket team head coach is already underway with former India batter Gautam Gambhir emerging as the frontrunner.
Perhaps that was the reason Gambhir chose not to contest this election. It looks like he is waiting for the post of head coach.
While this has not been confirmed officially, media reports suggest that he is most likely to take charge of the national side after Dravid’s departure.
“I tried to persuade him to stay, but there are various factors he needs to consider. Nevertheless, I cherished the time spent with him,” Rohit Sharma earlier said on Dravid’s exit.
“He was my first international captain when I entered the scene in Ireland. I also witnessed his captaincy during my early Test matches. He’s been a significant role model for us,” Rohit added.
