It is understood that Rahul Dravid has emphasized workload management to the board. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli was asked about the same during an interaction with Star Sports. The former skipper has no hesitation in giving some clarity on his plans about taking a break from the cricket.

Virat Kohli said, “There’s one person precisely who has mentioned it which is Ravi Bhai and that’s because he has seen from close quarters over the last six seven years the reality of the situation that I have been in. The amount of cricket that I have played and the ups and downs and the toll that it takes on you to play three formats of the game plus the IPL for 10-11 years non-stop with the seven years of captaincy in between.”
