 Former India head coach Rahul Dravid is expecting his successor Gautam Gambhir to do a "great" job with the national team.

 

Dravid was speaking to select media at the launch of 'Digital Classroom' provider' 'Roombr" in New Delhi on Thursday.

Former India opener Gambhir began his coaching tenure with the tour of Sri Lanka in July-August.

"He (Gambhir) has got a lot of experience, as a player also he has played a lot, he obviously coached quite a bit. I am sure he will be great," said Dravid, who coached India to the T20 World Cup title in June.

"In any situation everyone brings his own experience and knowledge to the table. I am sure the team will benefit from everything that Gautam brings to them with his team," he added.

Under Dravid, the Indian team also reached the final of ODI World Cup and World Test Championship.

India begin their Test season under Gambhir on Thursday. The team will be playing 10s Test over the next four months including two against Bangladesh, three against New Zealand before travelling to Australia for a five match series.
