Rahul Dravid's Twitter Q&A with Ashwin, Sehwag and Rahane

Rahul Dravid answers questions from Indian cricketers

There are few more graceful cricketers than Rahul Dravid. Whether it was on the pitch, or off it, the way Dravid handled himself, is an example for every youngster, who wants to learn to play the beautiful game.

So when Dravid was asked a few questions by current and former India players on Twitter, ahead of his MAK Pataudi Lecture, he responded eloquently and gracefully, in a way only he can.

Dravid, who is India’s current U-19 coach is in New Delhi to deliver the lecture that will be telecast live on www.bcci.tv from 7 PM onwards. Members of both the Indian and South African team will be attending the lecture ahead of the fourth and final Test at Feroz Shah Kotla.

Here are the questions from Virender Sehwag, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ajinkya Rahane and Dravid’s response to them.

@BCCI How much are you enjoying the coach's role?Is it important to forget the player you were when u embark on this journey? #AskDravid

It's important to remember your experiences and learning as a player and recognise that the game always moves ahead. https://t.co/YjfrFDMBJ6

@BCCI #AskDravid Rahul bhai what is the best mindset according to you as a batsman? And did you ever feel like bowling?

Never seen you bowl, even in the nets. Best mindset is to stay blank and trust your instincts. https://t.co/JPAmMTuSI7
