Delhi: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has decided to part ways with Stephen Fleming, who took the team to new heights for 18 years. During his tenure, the franchise won 5 IPL titles and made itself among the most successful teams of the league. However, CSK could not make it to the playoffs for the last three seasons, after which the team chose to change the coaching setup.
Now the biggest question is who will replace Fleming? Meanwhile, Rahul Dravid’s name is being considered among the strongest contenders. There are many concrete reasons behind this. In this article we will mention those 3 big reasons why CSK should make Dravid their new head coach.
1. Experience of winning big tournaments
Rahul Dravid has great experience in managing the team at a large level. He has been the head coach of the Indian team and under his coaching, India won the T20 World Cup title after a long wait.
His stint with Rajasthan Royals in the IPL may not have been very successful, but his understanding of Indian cricket and the T20 format makes him an excellent choice. An experienced team like CSK needs a coach who can take right decisions under pressure and Dravid fully meets this criterion.
2. Dravid is a coach with modern thinking
Dravid is considered a coach who works according to the needs of modern cricket. While with the Indian team, he laid special emphasis on data analysis, new strategies and aggressive T20 cricket.
On the other hand, questions have been raised regarding CSK’s strategy for some time. The team was criticized for adopting old methods and being slow to adapt to changing T20 cricket. In such a situation, Dravid’s new thinking can give a new direction to the team.
3. Expert in grooming young players
Last season, CSK had started showing confidence in young players. The franchise now wants to prepare a new team keeping the future in mind.
Rahul Dravid has been known for grooming young players for a long time. His work with India’s Under-19 and India-A teams is the biggest example of this. He has played an important role in the development of Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, Yashasvi Jaiswal and many other players.
In such a situation, if CSK wants to build a strong team for the next few years, then a coach like Dravid can prove to be ideal for them.
