The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Sunday introduced fans to the captain and coach of Team India for the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka. In the post, Shikhar Dhawan and Rahul Dravid can be seen posing for a picture. India will soon travel to Sri Lanka for three One-Day Internationals (ODI) and the same number of Twenty20 Internationals (T20I). Shikhar Dhawan will lead the Indian team and former India captain Rahul Dravid will step in to coach the young side as regular skipper Virat Kohli and head coach Ravi Shastri are in England, gearing up for the upcoming five-match Test series.
The BCCI captioned the picture as “Say hello to #TeamIndia’s captain & coach for the Sri Lanka tour. We are excited. Are you?”
