“I am not upset at all; I have great admiration for Wriddhiman Saha and his accomplishments and contributions to Indian cricket. My conversation with him came from that place; I simply felt that he deserved honesty and clarity. I didn’t want him to hear about it through the media. These are the kinds of conversations I have with players all the time, and I am not bother by them. I don’t expect players to always like the messages or agree with everything I say “Dravid stated during a virtual press conference.

“You have difficult conversations with people, sometimes with players, and you don’t expect them to always agree with you. I firmly believe in having those discussions every time the starting XI is chosen. Even now, Rohit and I will talk to the players who aren’t on the field. It’s natural for players to be hurt and feel disrespect; because I respect Wriddhiman, he deserved honesty and clarity “He continued.
