Hero of West Indies' World Twenty20 title triumph, Carlos Brathwaite said that he is privileged to share the dressing room with his idol Rahul Dravid, the mentor of Delhi Daredevils in this season of IPL.
"I find myself privileged enough to be working along with someone I have idolised all my career and that is Rahul Dravid. We had a couple of chats and it is good to hear from him as a person and as a player on what are the areas that I would look to improve on in terms of playing spin and I spoke to Rahul about," Brathwaite said on the eve of Delhi Daredevils IPL opener against Kolkata Knight Riders.
The 27-year-old said he hoped to return home as a better player.
"I hope that at the end of six weeks I go back to the West Indies with better understanding of how to play spin bowling, how to rotate it, how to score off it and how to take that knowledge from the IPL back to the West Indies," he said.
