“Yeah, is it official? Obviously, we were playing the game, so I had no idea. Congratulations to him for coming back but in a different capacity in the Indian team. We look forward to working with him. He’s a stalwart of Indian cricket, and it’ll be nice working with him in the future,” said Rohit during a virtual post-match press conference.

Earlier, Dravid said that he is honoured to be appointed as the new head coach of the Indian cricket team. The Cricket Advisory Committee of Sulakshana Naik and RP Singh on Wednesday unanimously appointed Rahul Dravid as the head coach of Team India (Senior Men). Dravid will take charge from the upcoming home series against New Zealand.

The BCCI had on October 26 invited applications for the said post to appoint Ravi Shastri’s successor, whose term ends after the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup. India became the first Asian team to win a Test series in Australia (2018-19), followed by another series win in 2020-21.

India was also the first team to win all five T20Is in a bilateral series when it blanked New Zealand5-0. Under Shastri and his team’s guidance, India won all their seven Test series at home.
