Rahul Dravid spoke about Virat Kohli
Rahul Dravid spoke with Ashish Kaushik on the hallmark and question podcast, saying, “Gavaskar was a balance player. I have always seen him batting. My height was a little bigger than him and that’s why I have never copied him. Sachin Tendulkar was also a lot of balance players. The small people have more benefits in the last many years. Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara and Ricky Ponting can be seen.
The former head coach of India further said, “But in today’s time the game is changing very fast and players have to hit sixes continuously. Long players have the advantage that they can hit sixes on the ball. Physics will tell you the same. Kevin Pietersen, Kiren Pollard. You can see today’s batsmen, especially in T20 cricket.”
