Overview

• Speaking on the Haal Chaal Aur Sawaal podcast, Rahul Dravid described Virat Kohli as “short-ish,” adding that Kohli might not like the label.
• Dravid said a lower center of gravity helps shorter players look more balanced and timed, citing Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, Ricky Ponting and Don Bradman.
• He noted that modern T20 batting increasingly favors taller players whose reach boosts six-hitting, naming Kevin Pietersen and Kieron Pollard among examples.
• Dravid reflected on admiring Gavaskar’s stillness but said his own taller frame led him to adopt a different stance rather than copy Gavaskar.
• Coverage presented the exchange as light-hearted analysis, and no response from Kohli or others was reported.
