He was never known for explosive hitting, but his textbook style and calm demeanor made him a model for generations. During a recent appearance on the Haal Chaal Aur Sawaal Podcast with Ashish Kaushik, Dravid discussed his inspirations and batting philosophy, sharing insights on cricketing legends like Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, and Virat Kohli. Dravid revealed Gavaskar as his first cricketing idol, admiring his balance and stillness at the crease. Dravid also explored why shorter batters, like Tendulkar, Brian Lara, Ricky Ponting, and Sir Don Bradman, often have an advantage due to a lower center of gravity, which aids their balance. In a lighthearted comment, Dravid playfully mentioned Virat Kohli’s height, humorously noting that Kohli might not appreciate being called ‘short-ish.’ Dravid’s reflections offer valuable insights into the qualities that define a world-class batter: balance, technique, and mental fortitude.
