New Delhi: Batting on a different wicket as member of the Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOP) initiated by the Ministry of Sports to increase India’s medal tally, former captain Rahul Dravid said that Olympic sports can learn a lot from cricket and vice versa.

“Sport is sport and performance at elite level is performance at elite level. There is a lot that cricket can learn from performances of other athletes. There is lot of sharing of knowledge. There is lot that other sports can learn from cricket. It’s not generally about specific lessons. I think specific lessons in specific sports are sometimes unique to each sport,” said Dravid after attending a meeting at the SAI centre, here on Tuesday.

Part of the eight-member team of elite sports-persons to identify and help prospective medal winners from across India for the 2016 and 2020 Olympics, Dravid expressed surprise at being part of the elite group including MC Mary Kom, Pullela Gopichand, Anju Bobby George and Abhinav Bindra but is optimistic about Indian sport moving in the right direction.
