Karthik noted that the glaring absence of ICC silverware should not be the first thing that is associated with the trio. He explained how each member of the coaching staff brought something to the table and improved the quality and depth of the team. While speaking on Cricbuzz, Karthik said:

He talked about the improvement in the fielding and bowling department.

Simon Doull was also all praise for the way Shastri and others transformed the Indian side into a force to be reckoned with. He noted how the combination of Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri took Indian cricket forward. Doull said:

It will be interesting to see the Kohli-Dravid dynamic: Dinesh Karthik

Rahul Dravid will have two captains to manage, with Virat Kohli having stepped down from his role as the T20 skipper. Karthik feels that Rohit Sharma and Dravid will click right away. He is eager to see how Kohli forges a dynamic with Dravid, given their contrasting personalities. Karthik added:

It is to be noted that Kohli reportedly did not share a good rapport with Anil Kumble which eventually led to his exit as the coach of the team. The dynamic between a coach and the captain is pivotal to the team’s success.

Rahul Dravid will take charge of Team India from the upcoming series against New Zealand later in November 2021.
