Virat Kohli’s continuous run-scoring in all formats has impressed former Indian skipper Rahul Dravid who has hailed him as an example for others to follow if they are to learn the art of run scoring in all formats. Kohli also surpassed 1000 run mark against Australia during the first two Tests. Kohli has already scored a ton in the Test series so far. He has scored 177 runs at an average of 44 from four innings and has looked a class apart from the rest of the batsmen from both teams.
“If you don’t play Test cricket, there are other forms of the game, as well. I love T20 and ODI crickets. They are very skillful forms of the game. People like Virat Kohli are great examples who have shown that you could succeed in all form of the game. It is not easy. Not many people have done but that should be your goal,” Dravid was quoted saying.
Dravid also highlighted the importance of Test cricket and said that it gives players a real sense of satisfaction. “I always tell them (Under-19 players) you will get the greatest satisfaction is playing in Test cricket. Test cricket is the hardest form of the game. Nothing tests you like Test cricket. Over a period of five days, you are tested physically, mentally, technically, emotionally. So that’s the challenge,” Dravid concluded.
