Rahul Dravid comes in as coach right when Indian cricket appears to be in need of a calm logical longview.
Dravid would be succeeding incumbent Indian team coach Ravi Shastri following the T20 World Cup.

VVS Laxman has 8,781 runs to his name and is already the batting consultant of West Bengal at present; he is also the mentor of Indian Premier League (IPL) team Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Mr Reliable Rahul Dravid is expected to become the Indian coach. But to manage a team full of superstars, he will need to let out his inner gunda, and not just during the commercial breaks.
Rahul Dravid currently heads the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.
The company was founded in 2012 and has 17 million sq ft of residential and commercial space under development in and around Mumbai.
Not many remember that Rahul Dravid did some of the funniest commercials of his time. The Cred advertisement has further given him a chance to rid himself of an image he seems tired of – the 24x7 good boy
Many social media users noted that they were watching the CRED advertisement video on loop, unable to believe they were watching Rahul Dravid lose his composure.
Gavaskar’s greatness was entwined with West Indies- the most dominant team of his era or arguably the finest of all-time. He scored a staggering 13 centuries against one of the most ferocious attacks of all-time.
Dravid, who is mentoring India's young cricketers in multiple roles, said stiff competition demands that players pay enough attention to their well-being.
Dravid has already given a reply and defended himself saying he has taken leave of absence from India Cements and he has nothing to do with the Chennai Super Kings. As per the BCCI constitution, no individual can hold more than one post at the same time.
Dravid, who took charge as NCA chief in July, has already drawn a roadmap for the institution and Ganguly is expected to give his inputs when the two former captains meet.
According to Gupta's complaint, Dravid is allegedly conflicted as he is the NCA Director and also employed as vice-president of India Cements group, which owns IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings.
Dravid and his family had moved from their ancestral house in Indiranagar to Ashwathnagar and subsequently names of him and his wife were removed from the Electral Rolls.
Like Dravid, Pakistan's cricket board is also planning to appoint a former cricketer to coach and mentor its under-19 squad
The Karantaka opener, who made a comeback to competitive cricket with India A assignment, had scores of 13, 42 and 0 in his last three outings.
BCCI administrators are at loggerheads over the quantum of punishment for the duo
Dravid became the fifth Indian to be inducted into the Hall of Fame after former skippers Anil Kumble, Bishan Singh Bedi, Kapil Dev and Sunil Gavaskar.
Dravid said he had invested Rs 20 crore in Vikram Investments in the hope of higher returns, but got only Rs 16 crore back. The company is yet to pay him Rs 4 crore to match his initial investment.
