Rahul Dravid, one of the most trusted batsmen of Indian cricket, is known for his classic technology and batting batting. He has been called ‘The Wall’. Fast bowlers like Shoaib Akhtar also believed that it was difficult to dismiss Dravid with Sachin Tendulkar. In the Test match, he could get runs with his stylish shots by exhaling the bowlers for five days.
Recently, Dravid shared his experiences on batting in ‘Hall Chal and Question’ podcast. During this time, he not only talked about his role models Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar, but also discussed the differences of short and tall batsmen.
Benefits of small height
Dravid said that small height batsmen get more help in playing, because their center of gravity is down, due to which their balance is better and their shots look more attractive to see. Giving examples, he said, “Gavaskar was a very balanced batsman. His stability was amazing, which I always liked. I was a little longer, so I have never copied him. Sachin Tendulkar was also very balanced player. All of the great batsmen who have been there are little. Don Bradman also looked more natural and beautiful for this reason. “
This thing said about Kohli
Meanwhile, Dravid also laughed and mentioned Virat Kohli and said, “Kohli is a little short-love, but Virat may not like it that I am calling him a short-love.” On making a statement, Dravid himself realized that his talk could prick Kohli.
Why long batsmen are dangerous
Dravid further said that even though small height may look good in balance, the reach and strength of long batsmen gives them benefit in power hitting. He said, “Today’s cricket, especially T20, is based on full strength and sixes. Long players get an edge here. Chris Gayle, Kevin Pietersen, Kieron Pollard and Yuvraj Singh are the best examples of this.”
Told himself a different kind of batsman
Rahul Dravid also said about his batting that even though he was of long stature, he was never a big hitter. His batting has been strong technology and patience. He said that long batsmen are usually known for power games, but they have always trusted classical shots and defense.
