"Saw 6 Captains In Last 8 Months": Rahul Dravid's Quip On Experience As Team India Coach

Rahul Dravid had taken over the reins of Team India after the T20 World Cup in UAE and under his tenure, the Men in Blue defeated New Zealand, Sri Lanka, and West Indies in white-ball series, while the T20I series against South Africa ended in a 2-2 draw, with the final match abandoned due to rain. However, disappointment was on offer when Team India lost the away Test and ODI series against South Africa earlier this year.

As India prepare for the 2022 T20 World Cup, they are spoilt for choice in most departments, with several experienced players in good form and newcomers also knocking on the doors with their performances in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

India vs South Africa: Ruturaj Gaikwad fails to make it count against South Africa

Opener will find it difficult to get into the team when regulars like Rohit, Rahul returnBENGALURU: In the first six deliveries Ruturaj Gaikwad faced at the M Chinnaswamy stadium on Sunday night, he managed two runs. Nudging, poking and missing, he struggled to find rhythm before a short ball from Kagiso Rabada was pulled over mid-wicket boundary. But the spark was doused three deliveries later, with a slow off-cutter from pacer Lungi Ngidi. The 25-year-old played the shot early and handed Dwaine Pretorius a sitter at mid-wicket. It wasn't the first time the batsman from Maharashtra faltered in the five-match T20 series against South Africa. Barring the 57 in Visakhapatnam, Gaikwad doesn't have much to show in his T20 international career, which is eight matches old.
