Rahul Dravid Explains Virat Kohli's Absence From Press Conferences

Team India head coach Rahul Dravid on Sunday explained the reason behind skipper Virat Kohli's absence in the press conference ahead of the second Test against South Africa. Dravid said Kohli will attend the press conference ahead of his 100th game in the longest format of the game. The Indian Test skipper has played 98 Tests to date. "There is no specific reason for that (on Kohli skipping).

I don't decide this but I am told he will be speaking on the eve of his 100th Test and we hope you celebrate that. And you can ask him questions about his 100th Test," said Dravid when asked about Kohli's absence in the pre-match press conference.

Team India will be locking horns with South Africa in the second Test on Monday in Johannesburg. Dravid feels batting in the latter part of the match might become difficult in the second Test.
