Gradually learning to fit into multiple roles as per team’s requirement, KL Rahul has drawn comparisons with the legendary Rahul Dravid and the young batsman says it’s an honour.
“It’s great to be compared with someone like him. I had this comparison for a long time when growing up and playing as well. The names - he’s Rahul Dravid and I’m Rahul - so the comparisons always been there and he’s someone I have spent a lot of time with talking about cricket, talking about batting and he’s coming from the same state as well (Karnataka)”.
He said Dravid is open to speak to him on anything about cricket.
“I have the opportunity to go to him or give him a call and talk to him about batting or anything about cricket. So he's been more than welcome,” Rahul signed off.
