The BCCI shared a video of Rahul Dravid bowling in the nets ahead of India's 1st Test against New Zealand.

Team India's head coach Rahul Dravid rolled over his arms in the nets ahead of the first Test between India and New Zealand in Kanpur. The newly-appointed coach will take part in his first Test since taking over the role, with Ajinkya Rahane being the stand-in captain of the side in the absence of Virat Kohli.
