Rahul Dravid on Gautam Gambhir : The 3-match T20 and ODI series between India and Sri Lanka will start today. This will be Gautam Gambhir's first test as the new coach of the Indian team. Before the start of Gambhir's coaching career, former head coach of the Indian team Rahul Dravid had handed over a big responsibility to Gambhir by sending a video message.
Welcome to the most exciting job in the world
In a video shared by BCCI, Rahul Dravid shared his experiences and expectations with his successor Gautam Gambhir and said, 'Hello Gautam, welcome to our world's most exciting job. It's been three weeks since I started my tenure as the coach of the Indian cricket team. My tenure with the Indian team ended in a way that was beyond my dreams. I will never forget the unforgettable evening of that victory parade, both in Barbados and then a few days later in Mumbai. Above all, I will cherish my memories and friendship with the team in my heart.'
I am sure you will do justice to the team
Rahul further said in the video, “When you and I were players of the same team, I saw your batting. You were giving your everything for the team. As a teammate, I saw your batting and fielding closely, you were always against surrendering to the opponents. I have seen in many of your IPL seasons how eager you are to win and I have also seen you helping the young players. I am sure you will do justice to the team here too. You will get full support from everyone including the players here.'
You will take Indian cricket to new heights
In this video message, Dravid told Gautam Gambhir, 'Whenever you are stuck in tough times, take a deep breath and take a step back and smile, even if you are going through tough times. People will be surprised by what happens next. I wish Gautam Gambhir all the best and I am confident that you will take Indian cricket to new heights.'
