Dravid, one of the greatest cricketers to have played for India, was appointed the head coach of the Indian team after Ravi Shastri’s tenure ended earlier this month.
“When he used to play, we used to think the same thing till Rahul” Dravidian At the crease, the Indian batting is safe and sound.” Gavaskari Said in Star Sports show ‘Follow the Blue’.
“That’s why I believe that the new responsibility of head coach that will fall on him, he will be able to handle it in the same way.”
Highlighting the similarities between Rohit Sharma, who took over as T20 captain Virat Kohli, and Dravid, Gavaskar said the two men would easily work well together.
“If you look at both their temperaments, they are quite similar. Rohit is as calm as Rahul Dravid.
“So I think their relationship will be very good as both will understand each other very well,” Gavaskar said.
The three-match T20I series against New Zealand starting in Jaipur on Wednesday is Dravid and Sharma’s first assignment.
Virat Kohli has been rested for the series.
