Rahul Dravid Seemingly Offers Batting Tips To Indian Players

In the viral clip, Dravid can be seen seemingly offering batting tips to the Indian players. The ex-India captain makes some batting gestures which seems to suggest so. India are set to play three Tests against New Zealand before a five-match Test tour of Australia.

As far as Dravid is concerned, after a hectic stint as the head coach of Team India, Dravid has joined Rajasthan Royals (RR) franchise of the Indian Premier League (IPL) as their head coach. This marks another homecoming of sorts for the 51-year-old who has previously played for, captained and even mentored the side. He was even their Director of Cricket in 2015 and 2016. Fans are looking forward to see what Dravid will be able to bring to the table this time around as their coach.
