Under-19 World Cup-winning skipper Prithvi Shaw said coach Rahul Dravid's influence on the team played a big role in India's triumph in New Zealand earlier this month. The colts thrashed Australia by eight wickets to win the cup for the fourth time at Mount Maunganui. "It was a great experience to play under Rahul sir. For the last two years, we dreamt of a World Cup journey with him," said Prithvi at the launch of Protinex's protein calculator in a city hotel yesterday.
