Australian teen, inspired by Rahul Dravid, loves to bat for long period of time

| @indiablooms | 08 Oct 2022, 12:46 pm

Eighteen-year-old Teague Wyllie, who is slowly emerging as the next probable run machine to emerge from the Australian cricket system, has said he idolises Indian cricket team coach Rahul Dravid.

The 18-year-old cricketer has become the youngest to smash a century in Sheffield Shield cricket ever since former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting had made it.

The young Australian hammered 104 for Western Australia in their eight-wicket win over New South Wales.

The teen sensation hit his maiden Sheffield Shield hundred in just his third match.

"I idolised Rahul Dravid growing up," Wyllie told Espncricinfo.

"He values his wicket more than anyone. Growing up I modelled my game on him a bit when it comes to valuing his wicket and batting for long periods. Kane Williamson is another who I try to learn a lot from," he said.

"Test cricket is the goal and I believe it is the pinnacle when it comes to cricket," he said. "I've always loved batting for a long period of time," he said.
