Dravid's appointment as captain ended the tenure of a successful captain in 2005. History repeats itself in 2021 again.
Its a weird coincidence that Dravid's been involved in both instances in Indian cricketing history where a current captain is transitioned out in a "controversial manner". When Ganguly-Chappell captaincy saga unfolded, Dravid was the vice captain and took over the team. Right now, he's the coach who is taking over this team.
History says that the brief period of 2005-07 when Dravid and Chappell operated, India endured a very tricky/turbulent phase but they actually came out of it with a lot of lessons and fruits that ripened to maximum sweetness (e.g. Yuvraj, Dhoni, Raina, etc. all blossomed during this period). Also India became an excellent chasing side during this period only. So cautious optimism that similar things could follow now too! Dravid is used to these challenges, and man does the guy thrive in these situations even when he batted for India in test cricket very so often!!
