Karun Nair, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya - Rahul Dravid has taken the best out of all these future stars of Indian cricket. He was coach of the U-19 Indian team and has undoubtedly strengthened the foundation of Indian cricket by guiding the young guns.
Now former Australian captain Ricky Ponting says it is time for Rahul Dravid to come to the fore and take charge of Team India. According to him, he will be Anil Kumble's ideal successor.
In an interview, Ponting said, "I don¡¯t think BCCI will find many better candidates than someone like him [Dravid]. If he¡¯s interested in doing the job, he will do a good job. He¡¯s got a lot of knowledge, is very experienced and understands all three formats.¡±
Delhi Daredevils wouldn't have gracefully bowed out of the Indian team had it not been for Rahul Dravid's guidance. If Dravid takes up Team India's top job, it is quite possible that Virat Kohli's men are going to become more lethal in time to come.
