The head coach of Team India, Rahul Dravid, has praised the batting superstar Virat Kohli and said that he serves as an inspiration to several other players in the locker room. In addition to this, Dravid said that he has never met a person who is that committed and diligent in their profession. People like to look at hundreds as successes, but the head coach underlined that what is truly important is a contribution that helps win matches.
A postponed test match between England, the host team, and India will begin on July 1, and the great batter from India will be seen in action against England (Friday). During a four-day warm-up game against Leicestershire, he stroked a superb fifty, giving the impression that he was in fine touch with his game.
He is the most diligent and hard-working person I have ever met: Dravid on Kohli
“When you indicated that he is on the wrong side of 30 years old, I have to disagree with you. He is the most diligent and hard-working person I have ever met. The way he performed in the practice match, he’s checking all the right boxes.
I don’t believe that he needs any kind of incentive. You go through a lot of different stages, and the important thing is not to concentrate on those three numbers. People consider one hundred to be successful, but what we really need from him are efforts that help us win matches. He serves as a role model for many of the players in the locker room,” Dravid said.
When Kohli made his most recent trip to England, he was still serving as captain of the Indian team. However, he resigned from his position as captain after India was defeated in a series by South Africa. The 33-year-old batsman hopes to break his long-running century drought in the international arena and offer some pleasure to the Indian fans by scoring a lot of runs for his side in the next series against England. He also hopes to relieve the weight of leadership that had been hanging over his head.
The victory that the Three Lions had against the New Zealand national team in the last match of a set of three tests would undoubtedly boost their morale. While India can win the series with a loss or a tie in the final match, the host side will need to win the match by all means necessary to draw the series.
