Centurion : , 25 Dec 2005: India Head Coach Rahul Dravid praised Virat Kohli as he had achieved great success in all his games. Kohli said that he is a cricketer who wants to improve and push himself.
Kohli, on his third South African tour, will eagerly lead India to their maiden series victory.The three-match Test series starts at SuperSport Park (Centurion) from Sunday.
I was present when Virat Kohli’s debut came about.He played his first test match, and I was there to bat with him.Amazing to look back 10 years and see his growth as both a player and a person.It’s amazing just how many performances he has given for India over the past 10 years.
Dravid said that Dravid’s match-winning performance with the bat, and his leadership of the team were outstanding.The video was uploaded to their website by the Board of Control for Cricket in India.
He has created a team culture that is focused on fitness, energy, and achievement.It has been amazing to see from outside.
It is a pleasure to be able to contribute and just being part of the team.His game has improved and he is constantly improving.He’s a player who never stops learning and pushing his limits.
Dravid said, “He’s had tremendous success everywhere he played,”
Dravid feels that Indian cricket can grow if it has many options within the Test team.
With the number of options available, despite players being injured, it seems that there are many options to choose from for those who want to step up and play at an international level.This is great news for Indian cricket, and a wonderful position.There are difficult decisions and challenging ones.
It is an excellent position and it is great to have this depth especially with the level of cricket we play.
It gives us the opportunity to compete regardless of who is playing in a match.Communication is key.It’s about being open with others and being transparent about their reasons for playing or why they were left out.
Ravi Shastri, 48, was appointed as Ravi Shastri’s successor in November.He described the experience at the helm of the club as “hectic” and “exciting”.It was all about getting to know my boys, and watching them do their thing.It was not about trying to be a change agent and change everything right away.I’m just trying to do things my way, and getting to know the rest of our support staff.
“Getting the boys to see how they function within this environment.Many of these boys have been a part of my life and I’ve had many personal relationships.
It has been easy and I have always felt welcome.I have enjoyed this experience so far.It has been great, but it was hectic.In the time that I’ve been here, we have played many games and traveled quite a bit.It’s been a bit chaotic but it was exciting.
