Happy Birthday Rahul Dravid: The Wall is now shaping Indian cricket's future
Rahul Dravid, who turns 46 on Friday, was an ever-dependable batsman during his heyday. In his second innings as coach of the India A and the U-19 teams, the Wall is doing a phenomenal job of being the guiding light for several budding talents.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Rahul Dravid, who turns 46 on Friday, took over as U-19 and India A coach in 2015
- He led India to U-19 World Cup glory in 2018 after failing in the final hurdle in 2016
- Dravid has insisted that youngsters going on to represent India is more important than winning junior tournaments
There was an appreciative as well as envious tone when former Australia captain Michael Clarke and England cricketer Nick Knight pointed out Rahul Dravid's contribution to India's bench strength during the final Test of the recently-concluded four-Test series between India and Australia.
"The right coaches, at the right places for the right players," quipped Knight during a post-match show on Sony Six. "It seems Rahul Dravid is having a huge impact on these youngsters at the moment," Clarke chipped in.
