Considered one of the best batsmen in cricket history, Team India coach Rahul Dravid is an expert and former player admirer. Former Sri Lankan captain Kumar Sangakkara is also included in this. In a video released on Instagram by Rajasthan Royals, Kumar Sangakkara chose Rahul Dravid over a legend like Sachin Tendulkar to bat for his life during a conversation with Lasith Malinga on Thursday.
Responding to Malinga’s question, Dravid said that Rahul Dravid is incredible in this role. He said, “There is a reason behind The Wall and that.” Sangakkara is currently with Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2022 (IPL 2022) season and is the Director of Cricket and Head Coach of the franchise. Meanwhile, the franchise has appointed Malinga as their fast bowling coach this year.
Rajasthan are close to qualifying for the playoffs and the Sanju Samson-led side will take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their final league match on Friday.
