The Indian team under the new leadership of skipper Rohit Sharma and Coach Rahul Dravid is doing wonders. The men in blue have shown complete domination in the ongoing West Indies Tour. The Indian team has won all the matches played so far which includes three ODIs and a T20I.
The latest game was a T20I where skipper Rohit Sharma played a brilliant knock followed by a brilliant innings by experienced player Dinesh Karthik.
Karthik, who made his debut for the Indian team almost 18 years ago, has seen a lot of changes during his time with the side but believes the current setup under the guidance of head coach Rahul Dravid and skipper Rohit Sharma is the calmest he has ever seen. He applauded the coach and captain duo for handling failure in the ‘most rational way possible’ in a chat with Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin following the comprehensive win in the opening match.
“I think it’s a very, very different team (compared to what he had seen in his journey over the years). I must admit I’m really enjoying the set-up. The kind of calmness that seems to be around this set-up in terms of the coach and captain, I think a lot of credit must go to both of them (Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid) because they have set up an atmosphere where they are dealing with failure in the most rational way possible, which I think is a lot of credit to them,” Karthik said in an interview for BCCI TV.
Karthik has played in every possible position in his career and now he seems to be the perfect fit in the new position given to him which is that of a finisher.
