Rahul Dravid, the former Indian cricketer and current head coach, reflects on the evolution of the Indian Test team over the past decade, observing how a new generation of talented players is making their mark. Dravid, who witnessed the team’s previous transition as a player in 2008, now has a front-row seat to the latest transformation as a coach.
Dravid takes pride in India’s domestic system, nurturing a pool of talented batsmen and creating an environment that allows young players to express themselves freely. He commends their recent performances, exemplified by Yashasvi Jaiswal’s impressive debut century in Dominica.
However, the experienced coach acknowledges that tougher challenges await the young talents, as opponents will study and strategize against them. Dravid remains optimistic, hoping to witness their growth as they tackle the next level of learning and continue to shine on the international stage.
