One of the key aspects that the former India captain Rahul Dravid is focused on as the coach of the national colts squad, which is set to take part in the ICC Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh, is the ability to rotate the strike. "One of the things I had stressed on was the ability to rotate the strike. It takes a lot of pressure off you. I talked about it a lot to the players," said Dravid on Tuesday, the eve of the team's departure. "All these boys can play big shots. They are in a generation where they are practising playing the big shots and some of the sixes they hit boggle the mind. "We had played on very good wickets over the last couple of months. But you may not get wickets where you can score 300 plus. There will be 240-250 plus wickets. "They have learnt to rotate the strike but they can always get better and improve," the legendary batsman noted.
