Coach Dravid comes out in support of ‘phenomenal’ Kohli

TIL Desk Sports/ India coach Rahul Dravid believes a run of big scores from Virat Kohli is just around the corner and praised the work ethic and leadership of his captain ahead of the second Test against South Africa at The Wanderers on Monday.

India wrapped up a 113-run victory on Thursday in the first game of the three-match series at Centurion Park, where Kohli continued his run of low scores that has seen him unable to profit from good starts to his innings.

Dravid admitted there had been a lot of “noise” around Kohli in the last few weeks after he was axed as captain of the One-Day International side, causing some controversy back home. But he said there were no concerns about his form with the bat as India seek a first-ever Test series win in South Africa.

“Virat has been phenomenal over the last 20 days we have been here, the way he has trained and connected with the group,” Dravid said on Sunday.
