Jitesh Sharma Shares His Experience Of Interacting With Rahul Dravid

“They were quite welcoming. Rahul (Dravid) sir told me that you are doing very well and these are the kind of players that we are looking for. When I told him that I want to score big runs, he told me that at the position you play, runs don’t matter, impact matters. The more you contribute towards the win, that will be important for the team. When there’s a collapse and you go out to bat around 7-8 overs, the team will be 4-5 wickets down, so you can’t do much and just need to believe in your game. You have to take that score to a certain level so that the team can fight for it,” the wicket-keeper batter added.

The Test series kicks off with the first Test in Dominica from July 12-16. Trinidad hosts the second Test from July 20-24. The ODIs and the T20Is will follow after the Test series.
