The Indian head coach, Rahul Dravid is one of the greatest batters in the history of cricket. He made a name for himself with his solid defensive technique that helped him test the patience of the bowlers around the world. He was known for defending most of the balls but he never left any opportunity to smash a loose ball to the boundary as well. To date, Rahul Dravid owns the world record for the most balls faced by a cricketer in international games.
The current Indian cricket team head coach was nicknamed ‘The Wall’ during his cricketing days. In a recent interview, Rahul Dravid was asked if there will be another cricketer who could play like him in the future for Team India. He cheekily replied: “Hope not, need to play more shots.”

Virat Kohli is one of the most successful Indian cricketers of all time with thousands of runs under his belt. However, the former Indian skipper has had a tough time with the willow in cricket over the last few months. He has not scored a century in the last couple of years, with some fans opining that his motivation has probably gone down.
Giving his opinion on the batting form, Rahul Dravid recently said: “As a player, you go through these kinds of phrases. I don’t think in Virat’s case, it is a lack of motivation or desire. It’s not about scoring three figures, even a 70 on a difficult pitch is worth appreciation. In Cape Town, he didn’t convert it into a century, but it was a good score.”
