Kapil Dev's advice helped me, says Rahul Dravid

NEW DELHI: Batting great Rahul Dravid says legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev's advice helped him to explore options after his retirement before eventually taking up the coaching job of India A and under-19 sides.

Dravid said he was also "a little fortunate" that at the back-end of his career, he was already in a captain-cum-coach role for the Indian Premier League (IPL) side Rajasthan Royals.

"After I finished (playing), there were quite a few options and I was not sure what to do. It was Kapil Dev who gave me this advice actually when I was coming to the end of my career," Dravid told Indian women's team coach WV Raman on the latter's YouTube channel 'Inside Out'.
