"Gauti bhai is more aggressive" - Rishabh Pant on coaching styles of Gautam Gambhir and Rahul Dravid
Rishabh Pant recently analyzed and gave his opinions about the coaching styles of Indian current and former head coaches Gautam Gambhir and Rahul Dravid.
Speaking to Jio Cinema ahead of the Duleep Trophy match against India A, Pant feels that Gambhir is more aggressive when compared to Rahul Dravid. As quoted by India Today, he said:
"Gauti bhai is more aggressive, he is very one-sided about the fact that we have to win. But you need to find the right balance, That’s the best part about international cricket, you keep on improving and finding the balance."
On Rahul Dravid, he added:
"I feel Rahul bhai was very balanced as a human being and as a coach. For us, there were good moments and bad moments as a cricket team. In the journey of cricket, there are positives and negatives. And it depends on the individuals who are in charge of whether to focus on positives or negatives."
