‘India is in a very safe space right now’: Karthik on Rahul Dravid’s presence
India and West Indies will soon lock horns when they take to the field for the first ODI of the three-match series on February 6 at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad. It will be a momentous occasion for India as they will become the first nation to play 1000 ODI matches and cricketer Dinesh Karthik has reassured the fans that the future is in safe hands.
Talking about this milestone, Karthik talks about being part of the journey and how having Rahul Dravid as head coach will benefit India.
“Being the first team to hit 1,000 ODIs is an amazing achievement and it’s hard to put it down considering India has been playing for so long. But hitting 1,000 ODIs is no joke. I’m proud to Being a part of that journey, I enjoyed playing the ODI format. We’ve always been good at it. We’ve been a force for decades.
“We do have a lot of games, but the players have plenty of rest and Rahul Dravid is the kind of guy who would encourage players to say how they feel physically and mentally. I think India is now in a very safe space,” Karthik elaborated.
Meanwhile, in response to captain Virat Kohli’s sudden decision to step down as captain, Karthik recalled that Dhoni had told him it was very difficult to be a division captain in India, although the veteran cricketer felt it was unfair to represent his position. His thoughts on the decision Kohli made.
“I remember Ms Dhoni saying very clearly that India as a cricketing nation is very difficult to have a divided captain. It is not fair for me to answer that because only Virat knows why he decided to resign as captain, I believe There is a good reason behind him.

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”
Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.
KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.
In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.
In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.
Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.
Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.
He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
