And, Younis Khan shared an incident where Rahul Dravid personally came to Younis Khan’s room in the year 2004, when the Champions Trophy tournament was going on. Khan stated that he had requested Dravid for 5 minutes of his time, and Dravid obliged and even went to Khan’s room to offer some advice to him. Khan added that Dravid’s advice completely changed his cricket.
“The learning should not stop. I went to Rahul Dravid in the 2004 Champions Trophy in Birmingham and I asked for 5 minutes but Dravid himself came to me and I was a junior player. I asked him a few questions and I took them ahead and it changed my cricket,” said Younis Khan as quoted by India Today.
While Dravid retired from the game in the year 2012, Younis Khan played his last international match for Pakistan in the year 2017.
