Dravid was first choice for coach: BCCI Prez
BCCI President Anurag Thakur has revealed that Rahul Dravid was the first choice for the role of India coach, ahead of Anil Kumble. Thakur said he’d offered Dravid the position, but the former turned it down citing family commitments and willingness to coach the junior team. The U-19 team made it to the World Cup finals this year under Dravid.
