Overview
- Rahul Dravid said India is redefining T20 batting, describing scoring as “off the charts,” near 300 runs per game, with rivals trying to catch up.
- He attributed the shift to Rohit Sharma’s leadership, saying the captain set a more aggressive, positive template and empowered players to take risks.
- Dravid emphasized that style changes must be driven by leaders and executed by players willing to accept risk on the field.
- The remarks follow India’s 2024 T20 World Cup win, after which Rohit retired from T20Is and Dravid stepped down as head coach.
- In the ongoing white-ball transition, Shubman Gill has been appointed ODI captain and Suryakumar Yadav T20I captain, with reports indicating Rohit is expected to feature in the home ODI series against South Africa starting November 30.
