One of the things Rahul Dravid did during his stints as India ‘A’ coach, under-19 coach, or in his position as head of the coaching staff of the Rajasthan and Delhi IPL franchises, was tinkering with the teams and batting order. He always looked to put players in new situations and take them out of their comfort zones. Sometimes, the results hurt the team’s cause and affected their progress in the tournament. But it helped him unearth talent and see if players were up for the fight.
Players like Sanju Samson, Rishabh Pant, Ishan Kishan, Karun Nair, Hardik Pandya, Shubman Gill, Deepak Chahar, Mohammed Siraj, Shreyas Iyer are just a few names that come to mind who have been under Dravid’s wings at some point.
“I tell them upfront, if you come on an ‘A’ tour with me, you will not leave here without playing a game. I’ve had that personal experience myself as a kid: going on an ‘A’ tour and not getting an opportunity is terrible,” Dravid had said.
