Want To Learn Patience, Determination From Dravid: Nitish Rana, Chetan Sakariya

Batsman Nitish Rana and pace bowler Chetan Sakariya, who are in line to make India debut in the forthcoming limited-overs series in Sri Lanka, say they are looking to learn patience and determination

Left-arm seamer Sakariya, who has had a dream-like last few months that saw him graduate from being just a net bowler at Royal Challengers Bangalore to a Rs.1.2 crore buy for Rajasthan Royals, has upstaged his senior Saurashtra teammate Jaydev Unadkat to make the Indian team.

Sakariya said he wants to pick determination from Dravid. "I would want to learn how he was so determined when the opposing teams like Australia and England played dominant cricket. I want to understand how he troubled them and how he could achieve so much with sheer determination. I want to learn and understand the process which goes behind that mindset," he said.

The left-armer bowled a few good spells in domestic competitions, including IPL without being extraordinary. But the fact that he is a left-armer, the need of the hour for India, may help him cement his place in the India set-up.
