Ishan Kishan credits former India Under-19 coach Rahul Dravid for recent success

Ishan Kishan led India Under-19 to the final of the Under-19 Cricket World Cup in Bangladesh back in 2016. Former Indian cricketer and batting icon Rahul Dravid was the coach of the young Indian battalion that lost to the West Indies Under-19s in the final. While Dravid has been instrumental to the success of many aspiring Indian cricketers, it appears that he still reaches out to Ishan Kishan whenever the Mumbai opener calls for help.

During the post-match presentation from Mumbai’s emphatic win over Delhi, Ishan Kishan said that playing shots and scoring runs on the off-side was not his strength initially. He later admitted that Rahul Dravid had told him to work on his off-side scoring abilities which appears to have done wonders for him. Kishan said, “I’ve been working on that this season and thankfully it’s showing in the match situation now”.
