Xtra Time Web Desk: Team India star batter Shubman Gill was seen having a long one-on-one session with Head Coach Rahul Dravid after he finished his batting in the nets. The discussion between the two went on for as long as 20-25 minutes with Dravid sharing some valuable tips to the youngster.

Shubman has not scored heavily unlike Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. He has scored 219 runs in six matches that includes two fifties. He is getting starts but has failed to convert those into big ones. With the knockout stage matches coming up, the team management expects bigger contribution from Shubman at the top. The discussion between Dravid and Shubman presumably revolved around shot selections.

The interaction was marked by Dravid’s insightful sharing of valuable tips and cricketing wisdom, aimed at honing Gill’s skills and elevating his performance on the field. Such personalized coaching sessions reflect the dedication of both player and coach towards continuous improvement and excellence.

Dravid, known for his meticulous approach to the game during his playing career, has seamlessly transitioned into a coaching role, becoming an influential figure in nurturing the next generation of Indian cricketers. The emphasis on one-on-one sessions underscores the importance of individualized attention in addressing specific challenges and refining the strengths of budding talents like Shubman Gill, ensuring their development into formidable assets for Team India.
