SaralnamaOn 28 Aug 2025, Rahul Dravid spoke about why shorter batters often perform better in cricket. He said shorter players like Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, and Brian Lara have an advantage because their lower centre of gravity helps them stay balanced and judge ball length well. Dravid also included Virat Kohli in this group but joked that Kohli might not like being called "shortish." However, with modern cricket focusing more on power hitting, taller players now have an edge due to their longer reach, especially in T20 matches. Dravid gave examples like Kevin Pietersen and Kieron Pollard to support this. His comments came during the Haal Chaal Aur Sawaal podcast. (Updated 28 Aug 2025, 14:03 IST; source: link)
