Challenges for Indian cricket team head coach Rahul Dravid
As we know India is now out of the T20 World Cup 2021. A lot of questions are arising on India's attitude of playing in ICC events. India are almost favourite of all ICC championship but they have not abled to win any title in last 7 years. India has alot of match winner and world class player who can win the match single handedly but they fail to perform in the big matches.
Now Ravi Shastri finished his work as a head coach for India and Virat Kohli also left the captaincy. Rahul Dravid a is appointed as the new coach for team India and everyone is expecting a new approach of play from team India.
Most probably Rohit Sharma will be the new T20 captain. There are quite a few major ICC event in the upcoming years. So the fans are looking for a good approach of playing which may give a ICC trophy.
There are also some challenges that have to sort out to the captain and the coach.
Attacking approach
India should change their style of playing. They should start playing aggressively. Many a times Indian batsmen try to play conservatively and loose their wicket by creating pressure on themselves. Indian batting line up collapsed in the semi finals of ODI World Cup 2019 against Boult and other kiwi bowlers.
India have to set new templates in white ball cricket specially. England is knowing for their aggressive play, Australian also aggressive from the beginning but there is no specific template for India. You can't say India Play like this. We have been carrying a conservative mind set and thats create excess pressure to the batters. If the batters set a good score the bowlers become helpless.
Finding All-rounders
We have to accept that India is lacking if All-rounders. There is no All-rounders after Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina performing for the team continuously. In the current team Sir Ravinder Jadeja is the only all-rounder who Ãs a continuous match performar.
Team India need more multi dimensional player to fight with every situation and win the match. Special we have to find a fast bowler who can bat well or a batsman who can bowl fast.
Win knockout matches
India is loosing many knockout matches in last 6-7 years. India start their campaign as favourite to win the championship and perform outstanding in the league stage but they fail to cross the line in the knockout matches. It has been emerging as a big problem for the team in blue in the last few years. Coach Dravid has to address this problem.
Pacers for white ball cricket
In the current Indian white ball team except Bumrah there is no one who seems very much effective as a fast bowler. Absolute rare number of left arm fast bowler are there in Indian cricket team and no one is playing for the nation right now. So the coach has to address this issue.
Find new captain
For the most recent Newzealand series Rohit Sharma has been appointed as the captain. But the argument is Rohit Sharma is over 33 now and he can probably play for another 3 4 years. But after that India need a captain. So it is the time to find ot preparing players for leadership in international cricket.
