He further added Kohli needs to bat well and set the tempo if India are to have a chance of retaining the World Cup.
“He will need to bat well. He'll need to set the tempo for the side.”
Dravid was, however, concerned about the death bowling of the team terming it "inconsistent".
“Mohammad Shami we've seen has a good yorker and when he's on song he does well. Ishant Sharma has blown hot and cold in one-day cricket. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is brilliant when the balls swings, but again his death bowling has been good on some days, not been great (on other days) same with Umesh Yadav. So there's no consistency in that,” he added.
