KL has our full backing: Head Coach Rahul Dravid

TIL Desk Sports/ Under-fire India opener KL Rahul has had his and skipper Rohit Sharma’s unstinted support in “words and action” over the past one year and it will continue for the remainder of T20 World Cup, head coach Rahul Dravid said on Tuesday. Rahul has scored only 22 runs in three games but the coach said that there is no chance of replacing him at the top of the order. India play Bangladesh on Wednesday.

“In words and in action over last one year, Rohit and I have shown that we fully back KL,” head coach Dravid told mediapersons on a day when most questions were reserved on Rahul’s form. The head coach did all the firefighting for one of his favourite players and someone he sees as a future India captain. “Not at all,” Dravid said when asked if there are concerns about Rahul’s form.

“I think he is a fantastic player. He has got a proven track record. He has done really well. He has been batting superbly and these things can happen in a T20 game sometimes,” the coach was lavish in his praise for Indian vice-captain.
