Indian colts have gained priceless experience from tough England series: Dravid

INDIA UNDER-19 COACH Rahul Dravid has heaped praise on the young guns for showing character in the recently concluded ODI series against England. With the fifth and the final ODI ending in a tie, the young Indian side claimed the series 3-1. 

Chasing 227, the hosts made a comeback from 137 for seven to produce a nail-biting tie. Dravid reckoned that the priceless experience from the tough game will help the team in the future. As reported by PTI, the legendary batsman said that the young generation will certainly benefit from such tough games.

"It is fantastic. It is a priceless experience. I think these are kind of experiences, if they learn from this and if they go on from here, it is something that will hold them in good stead. Even the lower order, the way they fought back from 137-7 we had made a lot of changes, a few new guys in as well."

The 44-year-old further added,

"It was really nice for them to get a game like this, we would have liked to have won but tie is the next best result in that sense. We will take it and I just think just the closeness of the game and the way the lower order batted it will give them good confidence as well."
