As the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 approaches its grand finale on November 19, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is yet to initiate discussions about the future of Team India’s support staff, led by head coach Rahul Dravid. With India’s impressive performance in the tournament, reaching the final by defeating New Zealand, the fate of Rahul Dravid and his coaching team remains a topic of speculation and anticipation.
Rahul Dravid took over as the head coach of the Indian cricket team in 2021, succeeding Ravi Shastri with a two-year contract. The current tenure is set to conclude after the culmination of the ongoing World Cup. Dravid’s coaching style faced scrutiny, especially after India’s inability to secure victories in the T20 World Cup and the World Test Championship final.
The performance in the bilateral series added to the reservations within the BCCI about Dravid’s coaching methods. Losses against teams like Bangladesh and West Indies raised concerns. However, the narrative has taken a turn in the past two months. Key players returning from injuries, coupled with notable victories in the Asia Cup and the World Cup semi-final, have shifted the perspectives of BCCI officials regarding Rahul Dravid’s coaching capabilities.
India’s commendable performance in recent times, particularly in the World Cup, has prompted a reevaluation of Dravid’s coaching strategies. The team’s success in reaching the World Cup final has reportedly influenced BCCI officials to consider a contract renewal or extension for Rahul Dravid and his support staff.
While the BCCI seems inclined towards extending the coaching staff’s contract, the final decision hinges on Rahul Dravid’s interest in continuing in the role. As of now, there is no clarity on Dravid’s stance, and discussions about his future are expected to take place after the World Cup.

Regardless of Dravid’s decision, there are indications that members of his support staff, including batting coach Vikram Rathour, bowling coach Paras Mhambrey, and fielding coach T Dilip, may be offered extensions. The impressive performance of the team in recent tournaments has contributed to the positive outlook towards retaining the coaching staff.
“Whether or not Dravid chooses to continue, it is anticipated that members of his support staff – batting coach Vikram Rathour, bowling coach Paras Mhambrey, and fielding coach T Dilip-are likely to be offered extensions. Details are expected to emerge soon,” the report stated.
