It Has Been Fantastic To Watch Virat Kohli Train – Rahul Dravid
Indian team head coach Rahul Dravid stated that it is always difficult for him as a coach to see a player of Virat Kohli’s caliber in poor form. However, the former India batsman said he enjoyed watching Kohli train and prepare for his game.
“It was not easy for him since the standards that he has set for himself. It has been a fantastic to watch Virat Kohli train and prepare over the last one and a half years,” Dravid told official broadcaster SonyLiv in an interview.
When asked how he dealt with Kohli’s form as a coach, Dravid said it was vital to remember that Kohli had not batted poorly when half-centuries and centuries were not coming.
“As coaches it is our job to look beyond those numbers and see that he had batted really well in that period of time,” the India head coach concluded.
