WI Vs IND: Rahul Dravid Rolls Back Years With Elegant Drives, Cuts, Flicks In Dominica | WATCH VIDEO

New Delhi: India head coach Rahul Dravid rolled back time as the former skipper engaged himself in shadow practice ahead of their first Test match against West Indies which starts in two days time in Dominica.

The Indian team are currently training at the Windsor Park in the Dominican capital of Roseau, which isn’t exactly one of West Indies’ more popular grounds like the Sabina Park in Jamaica or the Kensington Oval in Barbados.

Having retired from all forms of cricket in 2012, it is impossible to keep Dravid stay away from the cricketing equipment that made him what he is today. In a video that emerged on social media, Dravid was seen examining a bat to get a feel in his hands.

After sometime, the right-hander engaged in shadow batting and mimicked drives, cuts, flicks and backfoot punches. It is also to be noted that both Dravid and Virat Kohli are the only two members from the current Indian squad who were there when India last played at this venue in 2011. The only difference is 12 years back both played as players and now Dravid is the head coach of the side while Kohli is still playing.
