Ex-India head coach Rahul Dravid said a lot of great batters over the years have been shorter people. "Look at Sunil Gavaskar or Sachin Tendulkar or Brian Lara or Ricky Ponting...going back to Sir Donald Bradman. [Also], Virat Kohli...is short-ish," he added. "Shorter people have the advantage of looking more balanced because the centre of gravity is lower," he stated.
