Having started off his stint as India coach with a 3-0 sweep over New Zealand last year, it’s been a roller-coaster ride so far for Dravid. Be it their back-to-back Test and ODI series defeats in South Africa, the controversy surrounding Virat Kohli’s captaincy or the recent saga around Wriddhiman Saha’s sacking from Test cricket, Dravid summed it all up by saying it’s been a “great learning experience”. “I learnt a lot. I’m not stressed too much about the results and just want the team to get better and move in the right direction,” Dravid, who completed 100 days as coach on February 17, said. “South Africa was a reality check for us, especially in the one-day format. In Tests, while it was disappointing, things could have gone our way with a bit of luck. “From my perspective, it’s really important to keep learning as a coach to keep improving. I keep learning everyday…I don’t expect not to make mistakes. I’m going to make mistakes,” he conceded. “But I learn, I’ll improve and get better. I hope the team wants to do that (too)…we need to keep improving. We are far from the finished product,” he concluded.
