"He (Dravid) is positively looking forward to the IPL and making sure he makes an impact in the tournament," Jennings told Cricinfo website.<br /><br />"I expect Rahul to play a huge role in the team in the short period of the time he is with us. I would like to believe that during his time with the team he is into its tactics and thought processes.<br /><br />"It is not only one Kevin Pietersen running the show as Kevin has a few international captains around him (Dravid, Kumble, Jacques Kallis and Mark Boucher) and each one of them would like to contribute in a positive way," he added.<br /><br />However, the former South African coach said he has not yet decided a fixed slot for Dravid in the batting order. "With our sort of batting order, each one of our top six or seven guys should be able to bat in any role," he said. "Rahul has played so much cricket that he can adapt to any position. He can open and bat at No 6. So it depends on the situation he walks in and how he adapts. To be unpredictable is a good thing in any form of cricket."<br /></p>
