Former Indian skipper and head coach Rahul Dravid on Thursday expressed optimism that the Indian team will benefit from the vast playing and coaching experience of their new coach Gautam Gambhir. Dravid was speaking at an event in Delhi organised by Roombr. Dravid was appointed as the Team India head coach in November 2021. Under his coaching stint, Team India finished as runners-up in 2021-2023 ICC World Test Championship and the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup held at home. And then Men in Blue ended their 11-year-long trophy drought by beating South Africa by seven runs to capture their second ICC T20 World Cup title. 
Answering a media query, Dravid said the team will benefit from what Gautam Gambhi is going to bring to the table. "I think he has got a lot of experience as a player. He has played a lot. He has obviously coached quite a bit. In any situation one brings his own experiences, knowledge to the table. I am sure the team is going to benefit what Gautam is going to bring to the table along with his team," he said.
