"There is not much of coaching you do at that level. You require someone who can give good guidance and provide a good atmosphere in the team. Ravi Shastri and the other support staff are doing a good job," Dravid told reporters on the sidelines of the fifth convocation of the International Institute of Sports Management (IISM) at Garware Club yesterday. Dravid felt his role as Rajasthan Royals mentor will help him in his new assignment.
