India vs Sri Lanka: 'It's an opportunity for Rahul Dravid to create future champions,' says VVS Laxman
Dravid – who was the coach of India’s U19 and the A-side in the past – is being credited to have improved India’s bench strength and hailed by experts for helping several youngsters improve their game.
Hailing the former India captain’s contribution towards Indian cricket, Laxman said the upcoming assignment will give Dravid a chance to prove his credentials as a coach.

Speaking exclusively on Star Sports’ show Game Plan, Laxman spoke, “I don’t think there is any pressure. This is an opportunity for Rahul Dravid to prove himself as a coach. We all know his contribution towards Indian cricket, both as a player and as someone, who has been instrumental in creating the (Team India’s) bench strength – both as India A coach and as the Director of the National Cricket Academy.”

“I think it is an opportunity for him to create the future champions for Indian cricket. It’s not necessary, that everyone will get an opportunity to play in this tournament. But just spending time with Rahul and sharing his experiences – which he has already done with a lot of these players in the squad – will enhance their future and their growth as Indian cricketers,” the Hyderabadi cricketer added further.
