Check out Saba Karim’s comments 

Speaking on SPORTS18’s show ‘SPORTS OVER THE TOP’, Saba Karim shared his expectations from the Indian national team. Sharing his thoughts on Rahul Dravid, the cricketer turned commentator goes on to say that, “Well even Rahul Dravid is aware that the honeymoon period is over, and he is trying his best to be an alchemist but so far, such metals haven’t been converted into core. One would expect him to do that.”

“This is crunch time for Rahul Dravid. With the World Cup T20 coming up, next year the ODI World Cup coming up. These two big ICC events, if India can win both these championships then only Rahul Dravid will be satisfied with the kind of inputs he has given to team India,” Saba Karim added.

The 54-year-old also went on to share how Dravid would like to go on and coach the team towards Test series wins in SENA countries instead of bilateral series win in white-ball cricket. Saba Karim said, ”If given an option Rahul Dravid would love to have those Test series win in South Africa and the last Test match in England. “

“He would love to swap that with so many bilateral wins that India has got under his belt. But that’s the nature of the challenges which Rahul Dravid has to face. See Rahul is sensible and intelligent enough to understand that the only way he can define a successful tenure of his coaching career is if India – number one, wins ICC events and number two it starts to win Test series in SENA countries, ” he added.
