Why Rahul Dravid Was Right About Virat Kohli

For 1,020 days, Virat Kohli couldn't score a single international century. The whole country wanted him dropped. One coach said no — and it changed everything. In June 2022, with Kohli in the worst form of his career, head coach Rahul Dravid refused to leave him out — a call almost nobody agreed with at the time. Eighteen months later, Kohli produced the greatest World Cup batting campaign in history: 765 runs, three hundreds, and a record-breaking 50th ODI century that took him past Sachin Tendulkar. This is the story of the coach who backed Virat Kohli when everyone else had given up — and the innings that proved him right, from the Asia Cup comeback to that unforgettable night at the MCG against Pakistan. #viratkohli #rahuldravid #teamindia #cricket #t20worldcup #cricketworldcup
