Meanwhile, as far as cricket is concerned, Dravid was part of the squad that had traveled to Sri Lanka for the limited-over series. While India won the ODI series by 2-1, they lost the T20I series by the same margin. The loss in the T20I series came after India had sent in a depleted team on the field after Krunal Pandya had test positive and members close to him were asked to quarantine.

Meanwhile, India and England are also taking on each other in the five-match Test series. The first Test which was played at Trent Bridge, Nottingham saw it end in a draw thanks to the rain. 

India had needed 157 runs to win on Day 5, whereas England required nine wickets to seal the deal.
