'Rahul sir's belief in my batting pushed me to perform'

India pacer Deepak Chahar, who was an unexpected hero with the bat in the 2nd ODI against Sri Lanka, said coach Rahul Dravid's belief in his batting inspired him to produce a match-winning knock for his team. Chahar came ahead of the more accomplished Bhuvneshwar in the batting order after India lost their 6 wickets for 160 runs while chasing 276. In the end, they both forged an unbeaten 84-run stand to script a 3-wicket win.
