Former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer also came up with a hilarious take on the news of Rahul Dravid taking over the position of head coach. In his Tweet, Wasim Jaffer hilariously credited all-rounder Shardul Thakur on Dravid’s possible appointment and wrote:
“Till yesterday news reports were saying Rahul Dravid was going to stay at the NCA. Yet early morning news broke of him becoming India coach. So what happened around midnight? My best guess is Lord Shardul blew candles on his birthday cake wishing to be coached by Rahul bhai.”

Meanwhile, Dravid, who is currently head of the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru will have to step down from his position if he becomes Team India’s next head coach.
