"rahul-dravid"

The agony of defeat and ecstasy of victory can co-exist — the Indian cricket team knows this better and has experienced it all

India triumphed over South Africa by seven runs in the T20 World Cup 2024 final in Barbados.

Narendra Modi also lauds Virat Kohli for his innings in the final, besides his overall contribution to Indian cricket

This strategic adjustment comes as India moves from New York's pace-friendly pitches to the spin-friendly conditions of the Caribbean.

I've heard similar sentiments. I noticed some of the remarks Shardul made, and indeed, some of the newer players in the team have expressed the same.

India secured a massive victory in the fifth and final Test in Dharamsala with an innings and 64 runs, propelling hosts to a 4-1 series win over England.

Making an impression with his composed demeanour, combined with the lazy elegance of a southpaw, Padikkal stroked a fine 65 off 103 deliveries, an innings studded with 10 four and a six.

Akash Deep, who claimed 11 wickets in four games for India 'A' against England Lions last month, inflicted most of the damage with his impressive 3-24 spell on a crack-ridden pitch.

Now in 470 international matches, Rohit has scored 18,641 runs at an average of 43.35.

While the likes of Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane have been eyeing to make comebacks in the national side, some younger players have chosen to skip First Class cricket upsetting the BCCI.

McCullum expressed respect for Kohli's prowess and competitiveness, underscoring the challenge his presence poses to the English side.

He didn't look comfortable and head coach Rahul Dravid, wasn't forthcoming about the extent of the damage.

India had only lost once after taking an advantage of this size, and it came against Sri Lanka at Galle in 2015 where they went ahead by 192 runs.

Rahul Dravid revealed that KL Rahul will not be playing as wicketkeeper and his choice will be between two other wicketkeepers KS Bharat and Dhruv Jurel

Now, his 18-year-old son, Samit, showcased skills reminiscent of Rahul Dravid in the Cooch Behar Trophy.

However, stealing the spotlight was Sanju Samson, whose sporadic performances have seen him in and out of the team.

Batting coach Vikram Rathour, fielding coach T Dilip and bowling coach Paras Mhambrey will also continue their stint with team India as BCCI extended contracts of support staff of Team India

Since then, Dravid's future as the back-room helmsman of the Indian cricket team has been constantly debated.

It was a phase where Cummins' cerebral captaincy helped the Aussies maintain a stranglehold on the duo.

Sunday could well be Dravid's last day in his office and there won't be a better farewell gift to one of the legends of Indian cricket, who missed that elusive silverware as a player.
