With the end of Team India's journey in T20 World 2021, Indian cricket has moved towards the beginning of a new era. Ravi Shastri's tenure as a head coach came to an end. Now the Indian team will have to find success under the guidance of Rahul Dravid. A few days after leaving this World Cup, the Indian team will face New Zealand in its hosting. Along with the New Zealand series, Rahul Dravid will take over his responsibility as a coach.
Let's take a look at Ravi Shastri's tenure. Shastri was first associated with Team India as a director in 2014. During this, his tenure was till the T20 World Cup 2016. After this, Anil Kumble was appointed as the coach. But in 2017 Ravi Shastri was made a full-time coach after the loss in the final of the Champions Trophy.
Team India's many achievements, but...
During Shastri's tenure, India captured two-Test series in Australia. Under Shastri's coach, Team India traveled to the final of the World Test Championship (WTC), but could not win the title. In fact, under Shastri's coaching, the Indian team could not win a single ICC tournament.
The current T20 World Cup was being seen as the last chance... but Team India's start was so bad that coach Shastri will never be able to forget this disappointing performance. The back-breaking defeat from Pakistan and New Zealand also put Shastri on the backfoot. The enthusiasm that was seen during the match disappeared from his face. Eventually, during the tournament itself, Rahul
Dravid was appointed as the new coach of Team India.
Virat-Shastri pair, these successes - The major achievements of this pair lasted for almost seven years are as follows -
Win in the Border Gavaskar Trophy (2018-19): Under the guidance of both, India created history by becoming the first Asian team to beat Australia at home in a Test series. Second successive success in Australia (2020-21): Although Kohli was not available for the entire tour, under Shastri's guidance, caretaker captain Ajinkya Rahane led India to beat Australia to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the second time in a row.
World Test Championship Final (2021): India made it to the finals of the first season of the World Test Championship under the guidance of Kohli and Shastri. Virat Kohli's team had to face defeat by eight wickets in the final.
One Day World Cup Semi-Final (2019): The Indian team emerged as the best team in the group stage of the 2019 ICC World Cup. She was on top of the points table. He was forced out of the tournament after losing against New Zealand in the semi-finals.
England tour (2021): Under the supervision of the pair of Kohli and Shastri, India has taken a 2-1 lead in the five-Test series against England this year. However, the last Test has been suspended due to Kovid-19 in the Indian team.
Top of Test Rankings for 42 Months: Under coach Shastri and Captain Kohli, the Indian team remained the world's number one team in Tests for 42 months from 2016 to 2020.
Now Dravid will take the team forward
Ravi Shastri definitely said while walking, 'Our team performed well in every format and stood as the best team in cricket history.' As a coach, Shastri's rapport with captain Virat Kohli was excellent. Now Rahul Dravid has to work with two captains in three formats. There are constant chances for the team to regain their reign. One is the next year i.e. 2022 T20 World Cup and the 2023 ODI World Cup.
The team has to play series continuously
Before this, Team India will enter the home series against New Zealand starting on November 17. During this, a series of 3 T20 Internationals and 2 Test matches will be played. After this, Team India's tour of South Africa will start on December 17. In February next year, the West Indies team will visit India. After this, Sri Lanka's tour of India is scheduled for the end of February. South Africa is to come on a tour of India in June.
