Classy Dravid

flamy · December 29, 2017

Dravid refused to predict who among the current batch has the potential to make it big at the senior level. "I have learnt a lot in these years as coach of the U-19 and A teams. These boys are from a different generation and their thinking is different. They have to adapt to all three formats. It's a huge challenge. The game has changed a lot.

I saw his interview where he said that they intentionally kept some giys out from appearing again so new guys can get a chance. He said even though we are lookig to do well, winning isn’t the only thing we are trying to get out of this tournaments, its the experience.

Can’t agree more. I would like to see India win, but getting that experience to play for India overseas against different nations albeat its under19 side is far more important than winning at that stage. It doesn’t help all but surely helps some.

Agree...but sometimes he should go for the wins too. Winning is also a learning experience. :p:
