"If You Have 6ft 4in Bowler...": Rahul Dravid's Epic Response To Journalist's Question On Left-arm Pacers

Rahul Dravid came up with a quirky response in the press conference on Wednesday when asked about left-arm pacers in the Indian team.

Let-arm fast bowlers are rare commodities. Since Zaheer Khan's retirement, the Indian cricket team has given opportunities to a few left-arm pacers but no one has managed to cement his place so far. Arshdeep Singh is one left-arm seamer who is a fairly consistent player for the team but is yet to hit his true potential. Ahead of the start of the 2nd Test between India and Australia, head coach Rahul Dravid was asked about the lack of quality left-arm pacers in the team. As the journalist used the references of Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mitchell Starc, Dravid gave an epic response.

"A left arm fast bowler brings a lot of variation. You forgot the name of Zaheer Khan. But selectors and management definitely watch out for these talents. Arshdeep Singh played well in the recent ODIs, he also played Ranji Trophy, where he picked 4-5 wickets. He's young, he's developing," Dravid said in the press conference ahead a couple of days before the start of the Delhi Test.

Going deeper into the topic, Dravid admitted that the selectors are always on the lookout for such talent but he also clarified that merely being a pacer who bowls left handed wouldn't earn that player a spot in the senior team.
