Run machines , we call Full profile. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Apr 18, Run machines , we call them. They were so good at their craft that they had basically invented their own technique However, there exists another breed of cricketers in the same league who have had to rely more on hard work rather than cricketing aptitude. They tend to develop a standard technique like a computer-based batting simulator would.
Through hard work and perseverance, they have crafted an airtight technique through conventional means and made it work in international cricket; a technique so perfect and versatile that it suits all conditions, and works equally well in attack and defense. Rahul Dravid, also known as, the Wall — a rather clever term coined by a journalist, according to Dravid himself, that could later be modified, depending on his batting form.
I say this because most gritty knocks on green surfaces are accompanied by a bit of luck. This required nothing. It is chance-less. No plays and misses, a couple of close leaves, but Dravid had the edge throughout.
And he won the battle, having played out the new ball and scored a century. However, he still looked comfortable while batting, especially with the first part of his job: shielding the middle-order from the new ball in case the openers fail. And was just a one-man show. In Nottingham, he carried the bat throughout the innings for a hundred, opened the batting again when the follow-on was enforced. So clearly, a man with a high-back lift has managed to do quite well in England. Specifically against the new-ball on fresh grassy surfaces.
Several celebrated batsmen owe him their hundreds and double-hundreds to Rahul Dravid, who has pulled off countless blockathons and leaveathons to see off vicious spells on treacherous seaming wickets. For a major part of the s decade, he did the first part of his task and then proceeded to make big runs for the team too. He did go through a dry spell individually when he started getting out to the left-arm quick; not because he had a technical chink, but because he was getting beaten by unplayable deliveries and was going through an inevitable dip in form.
Dravid will take charge for a two-year period. In the video shared by CSK, Rahul Dravid can be heard talking about soaking up the pressure as a cricketer, which he feels is an essential part of becoming successful in the sport. Check out Rahul Dravid's speech. A post shared by Chennai Super Kings chennaiipl.
Rahul has had an illustrious playing career and is one of the greats of the game. I am hopeful that his new stint will take Indian cricket to new heights. It was a much larger role for the development of young cricketers in the country.
Through his tenure, not one player has gone without crediting Dravid for improving his game. Dravid, and his team, can be credited for putting in strong systems not just aimed at results at India A or India Under Since he took over, selections to the national team have followed a strong process. Players who perform in domestic cricket are put to India A, from where they go to the national team.
In short, India A has acted as a bridge between domestic and international cricket. While or before the national team tours a country, the India A team will have their own tour, thus enabling youngsters to acclimatise and get ready for the challenges. Dravid also brought about an important change to the India Under set up. That a player can represent the team only in one Under World Cup. This has prevented age frauds, giving more young players opportunities.
