During India’s first practice session on Tuesday after reaching Dhakha, Rahul Dravid was seen inspecting the pitch. Soon he was in a deep conversation with KL Rahul, who is struggling for form at the moment. Dravid particularly focussed on Rahul’s batting grip and was seen correcting it.
In Rohit Sharma’s absence, Rahul will once again lead India in the second Test. However the stand-in skipper needs to utilise the second Test to score some big runs under his belt. He managed just 45 runs in two innings. His spot in the team is under scrutiny especially after Shubman Gill scored a century in the first Test. Once Rohit Sharma returns, Gill and Rahul will have to fight for the other opener’s spot in the team.
Meanwhile former skipper Virat Kohli missed out the practice session. Kohli too is not at his best with the bat in red-ball cricket. He managed just 20 runs in the first Test. He is also without a Test century for over 1100 days.
India currently leads the series 1-0 after winning the first Test by 188 runs. With the victory, they jumped to the second spot on the World Test Championship Table. Now, Rahul Dravid’s men will aim to clinch a whitewash and end the tour on a high note.
