The head coach Rahul Dravid and skipper Rohit Sharma are continuously under fire following the Indian team’s embarrassing 10-wicket defeat against England in the second semi-final of the 20-20 World Cup 2022. This ouster of the men in blue from the 20-20 World Cup has left the Indian management on the receiving end of criticism from some of the Indian cricket fans and former cricketers as well.
During the post-match conversation, skipper Rohit Sharma blamed fielding and bowling for this massive loss. He also praised the batting of the Indian team in the death overs which was visible in the form of Hardik Pandya’s onslaught. Subsequently, skipper Rohit Sharma avoided the post-match press conference after this loss against the three lions.
Head coach Rahul Dravid came ahead and gracefully faced the questions from the journalists where he went on to say that the camp is very disappointed as they would have liked to appear in the title clash of the tournament.
Whereas some Indian cricket fans did not look happy with the tactics of Rahul Dravid while going to some of the major international tournaments. They took to Twitter for demanding some changes in the Indian management and especially about changing the coach Rahul Dravid.
Here’s how fans lambasted Rahul Dravid and the rest of the Indian team management:
Rahul Dravid ko coach se hatao

Coach Rahul Dravid’s defensive mindset has perfectly been infused in Team India 🥱

Need the likes of ABD / Ponting / Gauti to coach #TeamIndia
The great Rahul Dravid will be also remembered as a failed captain and failed coach in WC.

I have huge respect for #RahulDravid as a player but you are retrograde as a coach.
— Dr Jatin Thakur (@RobThakur) November 13, 2022

Dravid may be a great coach for Juniors team. But, for seniors he is absolutely useless.#KLRahul #RahulDravid pic.twitter.com/xWiJMCOMQX
Change Coach Rahul Dravid for t20’s if that is possible…need to have a different coach for this format…I don’t know what notes Rahul Dravid kept taking after every important moment…I thought all these notes will be useful in WC but he is still taking them..for 2024..??

BCCI asked MS Dhoni to become our mentor last year.

They changed our T20I Captain from Virat to Rohit.
Scheduled 30+ T20I in a year for prep
They even appointed Rahul Dravid as our Head Coach after Ravi Shastri's tenure got ended.
Still, India failed to win the T20 World Cup.
Speaking of the match between India and England, the three lions’ skipper Jos Buttler won the toss and decided to bowl first at the mixed-supportive turf of the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide. Batting first, the Indians posted a total of 168 runs for the loss of six wickets in the allotted 20 overs.
While chasing the target, the senior and star opening pair of Alex Hales and skipper Jos Buttler gave no chance to the Indian bowlers for making comeback in the match at any instance.
