BAN vs IND: Rahul Dravid imparts batting tips to Mushfiqur Rahim ahead of Dhaka Test

The Bangladesh cricket team are gearing up for the second Test against India in hopes of leveling the two-match Test series. The hosts were completely outplayed in the series opener and will need to improve drastically, especially in the batting department. Veteran Bangladeshi cricketer and former skipper Mushfiquir Rahim was seen receiving batting tips from legendary Indian ex-cricketer and head coach Rahul Dravid ahead of the second Test in Dhaka.

Indian head coach Rahul Dravid, who was known for his imperious batting style was seen imparting a few tips to the Bangladeshi batter ahead of the second Test. Mushfiquir Rahim fell prey to spin in both innings of the first Test and was probably chatting with the legendary former cricketer about his defensive strokeplay against the slower bowlers. After their chat, the Bangladeshi cricketer hugged the Indian coach and posed for a picture with him.

The Indian team received a massive boost in their hopes of sealing a spot in the WTC final next after a set of favorable results elsewhere. However, they need to whitewash the home side in the ongoing Test series to keep their destiny in their own hands. They will have to do so in the absence of the flamboyant Indian skipper and opener Rohit Sharma, who has been ruled of the second Test as well after missing the series opener due to a thumb injury.

Apart from the Indian skipper, speedster Navdeep Saini is also unavailable for the second and final Test with the series on the line. Meanwhile, the hosts are also without their impressive pacer Ebadot Hossain, who sustained an injury during the first Test and could not bowl in the second innings. Shakib Al Hasan's men have an abysmal record in Test at home this year and will hope that Mushfiqur's chat with Dravid could inspire them to an unprecedented comeback in the series decider.
