Although Rahul Dravid’s tenure had ended before the T20 World Cup, but on the persuasion of captain Rohit Sharma, he decided to stay with the team for a few more months. The reason was clear, a tournament like the T20 World Cup was standing in front of them, after winning the first edition of which in 2007, the Men in Blue had not been able to lift the trophy again. When Rahul Dravid took this decision, perhaps even he had no idea. Must be that he is going to win the first World Cup of his cricket career. Head coach Rahul Dravid, his coaching staff and the star-studded Indian team ended their 17-year drought by defeating South Africa in the final. After winning the World Cup, Rahul Dravid and his coaching staff also had a happy farewell. New head coach Gautam Gambhir has formed his new coaching staff. In such a situation, the question arises that where are Rahul Dravid and his teammates and what are they doing after leaving Team India?
- Rahul Dravid- Head Coach of Rajasthan Royals in IPL
- Vikram Rathore- Batting coach of Rajasthan Royals in IPL
- Paras Mhambrey- Bowling coach of Mumbai Indians in IPL
- T Dilip- The position of fielding coach remains intact in the Indian team.
Dravid, Rathod with Rajasthan Royals
Now without making much preface, let us bring you straight to the point. After completing his successful tenure in Team India, Rahul Dravid had offers from many IPL teams, but Dravid accepted the position of head coach of his old franchise Rajasthan Royals. Dravid has captained Rajasthan Royals in IPL and also became a coach after retirement. Dravid has made Vikram Rathore, an important member of his coaching staff, the batting coach of Rajasthan Royals.
Along with Rahul Dravid, the tenure of these three also ends, new names will be entered in the support staff of Team India.
Paras Mhambrey went to Mumbai Indians
After the end of Bharat Arun’s tenure in 2021, 52-year-old Paras Mhabre was made the bowling coach of the Indian cricket team. It was expected that like Rahul Dravid and Vikram Rathod, Paras Mhambrey would also be a part of Rajasthan Royals, but now the news is that he is going to join Mumbai Indians. Paras Mhambrey, who played two Tests and three ODIs for India, will team up with Lasith Malinga at five-time champions Mumbai Indians!
Only Dilip is the only one in Team India intact
If any member from the old coaching staff of Rahul Dravid remains intact in the new coaching staff of Gautam Gambhir, it is T Dilip. Dilip, who attracted everyone with his speech in the dressing room, started the tradition of best fielder award after the match. Everyone from the team management to the board was impressed by his hard work. The team’s improved fielding was a clear measure of his work. After coaching the state cricket academy’s junior age group programme, he worked as an assistant fielding coach at IPL team Deccan Chargers (now defunct) and spent a decade at the National Cricket Academy (NCA).
