Saba Karim Feels Managing The Team After Captaincy Changes Will Be "Biggest Challenge" For Rahul Dravid

Former Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Saba Karim believes that it will be the “biggest challenge” for Head Coach Rahul Dravid to manage the Indian team after the captaincy changes.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Wednesday announced that Rohit Sharma will take over the leadership roles in all three formats of the game. It was announced that Rohit Sharma will lead the team in One Day Internationals and T20 Internationals also he will be deputy of Virat Kohli in the Test team.

Meanwhile, Karim has said that Dravid might be thinking he recently joined and all these things are happening in Indian cricket.

“The biggest challenge is for Rahul Dravid. He must be thinking, ‘I’ve joined the team only recently and all these things are happening!’” Karim said on the Khelneeti podcast.

However, former Indian wicketkeeper-batsman, Saba Karim, believes that David has a lot of experience and maturity and he will handle the situation properly but it will be a challenge for him.

“But at this position, you have to look after these things. With the experience he has, the maturity he has, and the way he communicates, I’m sure he will be trying to talk to Virat Kohli and tell him to move on from whatever has happened and focus on South Africa tour. This is going to be a big challenge for Dravid,” the former Indian cricketer said.

Karim further added that Test captain Kohli will be focusing a lot more on his batting and the South Africa tour will be a big challenge for him. He said:

“From my experience, only your game can help. You are still the Test captain. Before this, India have not won a series in SA. If you go with this objective, it will help the side go past this controversy, This will help the team remain unified. This is a big challenge for Virat and Team India.”

Meanwhile, the India tour of South Africa has been postponed by a week and it is set to begin from December 26 and India will play 3 Tests and as many as ODIs in the tour.
