It was a slight surprise to see Rahul Dravid, newly-appointed head coach of the Indian cricket team, reach Jaipur without his support crew.
After a miserable outing in the T20 world cup, fans hold high expectations of the team. Experts believe that the Jaipur match is going to be very special for Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma. This is presumed because Rahul Dravid will be guiding the team as head coach for the first time and Rohit Sharma will lead the team on the ground in the first T20.
Rahul Dravid was selected as the head coach after Ravi Shashtri’s contract ended. According to reports, Rahul Dravid still does not have a support staff to help him for the upcoming India vs New Zealand series. In an article, Inside Sports wrote that the BCCI has selected a bowling and fielding coach as well.
According to Inside Sports reports Paras Mahabre will be the bowling coach and T Dilip will be the new fielding coach. The BCCI still has to announce the names of the bowling and fielding coaches. However, some sources say that Rahul Dravid is looking forward to having Abhay Sharma as the bowling coach for India.
The entire team, including the coaches, will remain in a three-day quarantine before they start practising for the upcoming series.
