Former India head coach Rahul Dravid recently shared a hilarious story, saying that he went to the theatre to watch the Hindi edition of Drishyam 2, but he was surprised to see that there was only he and his wife, Vijeta, in the audience. However, the crime thriller featuring Ajay Devgn was a massive hit.

Speaking to Ashwin on Kutty Stories (via YouTube channel), Dravid said: “I think I saw that Drishyam 2 movie, the Hindi one. So me and Vijeta went to the theatre on a weekday, and it was actually quite funny. It was a theatre and there were only two of us. Not private screening (laughs). We thought we would just go on a weekday for the morning show in the mall near our house. And we are locked up there and thinking about whether they will play or not.”

“VV Chandrasekhar was one of the early captains that I enjoyed… I thought Dhoni was really good at the backend, the way he managed, not being an easy transition for him. From being a young man, captaining the guys that they were, but he did that really well. Sourav, in a way, did a lot for Indian cricket and was clear about what he was doing. Grateful for all these guys, Anil was very good as well. Anil was very clear about his communication, what he wanted from you,” he again added.

Rahul Dravid further named former Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath and Sri Lankan spin legend Muttiah Muralitharan among the two toughest bowlers he faced in his 15-year-long international career.

He shared, “As a spinner, I think Muralitharan was the best bowler that I played against spin. Great skill, ability to swing the ball both ways, especially around the wicket, and starts getting the doosra away from you. Again, someone who never tired, bowled long overs. Just kept at you. He was a phenomenal spinner.”

“I would say as a fast bowler, it has to be Glenn McGrath. I kind of played Wasim and Waqar at the back end of their career… and they were really good. But I played McGrath at his peak. He was a phenomenal bowler. Probably challenged my off stump than anyone ever did. Just the level of fitness, and he was able to come at you the whole day. Great faster bowlers than him, but in terms of consistency and skill, I thought for me he was the toughest bowler I ever played,” Rahul Dravid concluded.
