India coach Ravi Shastri takes the shot of Covid-19 vaccine in Ahmedabad.



Tema India?s current head coach, Ravi Shastri on Tuesday shared a photo of him getting covid-19 inoculation. Shastri received the first shot of the vaccine at City Hospital Ahmedabad.



India?s vaccine drive entered its second phase on Monday and all the peoples who are above 60 and those over 45 with co-morbidities will be given the preference this time.



The second phase began with the shot to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who took the first shot in AIIMS Delhi.



Took my first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at AIIMS. Remarkable how our doctors and scientists have worked in quick time to strengthen the global fight against COVID-19. I appeal to all those who are eligible to take the vaccine. Together, let us make India COVID-19 free!

Thank you to the amazing medical professionals &amp; scientists for empowering India against the pandemic,? the former India cricketer tweeted.



?Extremely impressed with the professionalism shown by Kantaben &amp; her team at Apollo, Ahmedabad in dealing with COVID-19 vaccination.?

Indian contingent and their English counterpart are currently preparing for the last test match at Ahmedabad. The fourth test will begin on 04th March and will decide whether India will compete against New Zealand in ICC World Test Championship or Australia.



The series is right now in India?s favour with a 2-1 lead with two back to back wins after the defeat in the first test game in Chennai.

The players have undergone two lateral flow Covid-19 tests since Shastri?s report came. All the players returned negative and hence were given clearance to play the ongoing test match.

Rahul Dravid donated 35000 INR to Kanpur pitch groundsmen after INDvsNZ 1st test.



INDvsNZ 1st Test: The new Indian head coach, Rahul Dravid has started off his job perfectly with a complete white-wash in the T20I series followed by a pretty harsh draw to the 1st test match between India and New Zealand in Kanpur?s Green Park. Everyone says, Dravid is a different guy, he is not similar to anyone who has served the cricket in the past or at the current level. Well, proving that right, Rahul Dravid has donated a sum of INR 35,000 to the groundsmen of Kanpur?s Green Park stadium for preparing the sporting pitch.



It?s quite odd to compare one?s greatness with the donations he made but it matters a lot when nothing wrong has happened but still, someone cared and gave away gifts as a kind of appreciation for their work.



Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) made an announcement right after the match about the act of kindness from the Indian head coach.



?We would like to make an official announcement. Mr Rahul Dravid has paid Rs 35,000 personally to our groundsmen,? the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) announced in the press box after the game.



Experts reckon that the pitch prepared by the groundsmen was nearly perfect for a test match. They believe that the curators would have done rather differently if they wanted the match to get wrapped up within three or four days, however, it was not the case. They prepared the best of the surfaces that had enough for everyone who applied their proper techniques.

Shreyas Iyer, Shubman Gill, Tom Latham and Will Young were brilliant with their bat while the likes of Kyle Jamieson and Tim Southee exploited the surface to draw wickets. The spinners too got enough assistance from the pitch as they scalped as many as 20 wickets in the match.



<h2>India vs New Zealand 1st Test:</h2>



The first test match between India and New Zealand ended in a draw following a tight fight at the end. India were due to take one final wicket of New Zealand while the quota of overs for day five was completed and the sunlight did the rest of the work to draw the match.



The Indian origin Rachin Ravindra and Ajaz Patel fought hard and kept the wicket until umpires signalled for a call-off of the test match following bad light in Kanpur. 



Indian debutant batter Shreyas Iyer was adjudged Player of the Match for his supreme century and a half-century in two respective innings against New Zealand.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has recently released a notification for the role of head coach in the senior men's Indian team. The post will be vacant after the completion of the extended tenure of incumbent Rahul Dravid, who is set to be relieved from his duties after the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024. 



Notably, Rahul Dravid was convinced to take up the head coach duties in Team India after the completion of Ravi Shastri's tenure in 2021. Dravid led India to the final of the ICC World Test Championship 2023 along with the lucrative ODI World Cup in 2023, besides leading the team to top positions in all three formats of the game.



Dravid's tenure was completed after the ODI World Cup 2023, where Team India lost in the finals to Australia, however, keeping in mind the impending ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, the BCCI extended his contract for a year. This time, Dravid hasn't asked for any extension and conveyed the same to the BCCI, hence the post will be vacant.



The term of office for the new head coach is specified for three and a half years by the BCCI, which will begin on July 1, 2024. The roles and responsibilities include developing a "world-class" team across all formats for sustained success. He will also be leading the specialist team of coaches and support staff, who will assist the team.



Being Team India's head coach is a rigorous task as it involves being on the road for approximately 10 months a year. The only substantial leave a head coach gets is during the IPL window, which is two months.
