Rahul Dravid has been appointed as the head coach of India in the ODI series against India and Sri Lanka. Team India players, former cricketers and experts are delighted to have appointed Rahul Dravid as head coach. Leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has also been included in the squad for the tour of Sri Lanka. Chahal expressed his views on working under Dravid. Chahal said that Rahul Dravid had advised him to do what you want to do and focus on it.
“Rahul Dravid has been given the responsibility of mentoring young players,” Chahal told Virtual Press. Chahal’s performance in the previous series against Australia and England was low. Chahal is trying to secure his place in Team India in the format he played with the white ball. “You are a senior and you have to mentor the young guys on the team,” Chahal said. Moreover, Chahal said the series against Sri Lanka is important to me and I am only focusing on it.

The 30-year-old Yuzvendra Chahal has played 54 ODIs and 48 T20 Internationals for India. Regarding playing ODIs after playing T20 in the last 6 months, he said this is not a problem. He said, ‘I’ve been playing the ODI series for a long time now. We’ve already played two practice matches here. ODIs are different than T20s. I have played over 50 ODIs so this shouldn’t be a problem and when I bowl, I only focus on putting out batsmen.
The limited-overs series between India and Sri Lanka was supposed to be played from July 13, but it has been extended for 4 days following the Corona case in the host camp. The one-day series starts from July 18, while the T20 series starts from July 25. In Sri Lanka, the Indian team led by Dhawan has completed its rigorous quarantine and the team is training in Colombo.
