Speaking
exclusively
on
Star
Sports’ show
Follow
the
Blues,
Gavaskar
shared
his
thought
and
said,
“When
he
used
to
play
we
used
to
think
that
till
Rahul
Dravid
is
at
the
crease,
the
Indian
batting
is
safe
and
strong.
This
is
the
reason
why
I
believe
that
the
new
responsibility
of
head
coach
that
falls
upon
him,
he
will
be
able
to
handle
it
in
a
similar
way.”
Gavaskar
also
drew
similarities
between
Dravid
and
the
newly
appointed
T20I
captain
Rohit
Sharma
and
said,
“If
you
look
at
both
of
their
temperaments,
they
are
quite
similar.
Rohit
is
of
a
quiet
nature
just
like
Rahul
Dravid.
So
I
think
their
bond
will
be
quite
good
because
both
of
them
will
understand
each
other
well.”

Key
Highlights
Meanwhile,
former
India
batsman
Gautam
Gambhir
also
shared
his
thought
on
Dravid
taking
up
the
new
role
and
said,
“He
was
a
very
successful
player
then
he
became
a
very
successful
captain
and
I’m
sure
he
is
going
to
become
a
very
successful
coach
as
well.
With
him
in
that
dressing
room,
I
think
he
brings
a
lot
of
assurance,
he’s
played
more
than
100
test
matches.
He’s
captained
the
side,
his
work
ethics
were
unbelievable,
really
hard
working.
So,
I
think
he
brings
a
lot
on
the
table.”
Speaking
the
show,
former
Team
India
opener
Aakash
Chopra
also
lauded
Dravid’s
process
and
meticulous
planning
and
believes
the
legendary
cricketer
will
help
the
players
get
that
war-winning
mentality.
“When
you
think
of
Rahul
Dravid,
the
first
thing
that
comes
to
my
mind
is
the
process
–
process,
planning,
execution
of
that
planning,
raw,
meticulous,
looking
forward,
looking
ahead.
He
doesn’t
mind
losing
those
small
battles,
as
aims
to
win
the
war
entirely.
So,
this
war-winning
mentality
and
attitude
will
come
with
his
leadership,
along
with
some
amount
of
stability,”
Chopra
added.
