Venkatesh Iyer has walked into the Indian team's dressing room with an open mind and he aims to absorb everything that the legendary head coach Rahul Dravid has to offer.

Venkatesh has been fast-tracked into the national T20 side, being a pace bowling all-rounder, and is expected to keep Hardik Pandya on his toes.

"I just want to learn whatever I can with Rahul sir and he has lots to share," said Venkatesh. "It's just about how we will pick things depending upon what's asked of us and I have come with a blank mind and whatever comes in, I will take it in that manner."
