5 reasons why Rahul Dravid’s renewal as coach of India A and U19 team is a great move

#2 Dravid’s composure is something the youngsters need to follow

Dravid was aggressive in his own subtle way

In an age where cricket has become synonymous with aggression, there has to be someone who can nip that aggression in the bud from the very start. And for a lesson on composure and patience, there can be no teacher better than Dravid.

When he was mentally disintegrated by the opponents, Dravid replied not with a verbal bashing or rash batting, but with a calm innings, something that is largely lacking in today’s cricket.

The increasing number of match fines for misconduct is a proof of that. Dravid’s elegant batting and self composure was what made him the great that he is, and these values need to be imparted to the youngsters as a lesson for their graduation into the Indian team. Remember, character building can be done only at the young age.
