#2 Discipline

ICC U19 Cricket World Cup - India v Papua New Guinea

Discipline in cricket can have two meanings. The first one is discipline in the way you play the game, i.e. not gifting your wicket to the opposition while batting and bowling as per the field. The second meaning of discipline in cricket is the player's on-field behavior, or the way he interacts with his fellow teammates, opposition players, and the match officials. Rahul Dravid had both the aspects of discipline in cricket well covered. Dravid never threw his wicket away. Also, he never misbehaved with any individual in the field.

Taking a leaf out of Dravid's international career, the Indian team batsmen had also put a heavy price on their wickets throughout the tournament. Also, the bowlers bowled to the plan and did not leak easy runs. Along with this, the team's behavior on-field was ideal as the players rightly channelized their aggression into batting, bowling, and fielding.
