“I don’t coach my son Samit”: Rahul Dravid

India’s head coach, Rahul Dravid, recently shared insights into coaching his son, Samit, who showcased remarkable performances in junior cricket. The 18-year-old played a crucial role in guiding Karnataka to the Cooch Behar Trophy final, amassing 370 runs in 7 games with an average of 37.78, including three fifties. As a right-arm fast bowler, Samit also proved his prowess by dismissing three opponents

Despite Samit’s success, Dravid revealed that he refrains from coaching his son, acknowledging the challenges of balancing the roles of a parent and a coach simultaneously.

Dravid said “I don’t coach my son Samit as it is difficult to play two roles (parent and coach). I am happy to be a father. I don’t know what I am doing in that role also.”

Dravid also commented on the noteworthy emergence of left-handed batters in the Indian team. Players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rinku Singh, and Tilak Varma have garnered acclaim for their batting performances, signaling a positive shift in the team’s dynamics.

“Players like Rinku, Jaiswal and Tilak are showing their talent but you need to be consistent to be a part of the team. Being a left-hander is not the only criteria,”
