India set to begin a new chapter with Rahul Dravid as head coach

The New Zealand series will mark the debut of Rahul Dravid as full-time head coach for Team India. After months of speculation, Dravid was officially appointed for the job last month. He is replacing Ravi Shastri who served the team post the Champions Trophy 2017.
