'India wanted to give Australia a slow track. This is the truth, even if people don't want to believe it,' Kaif said during a show on ‘The Lallantop’.
Dravid's contract ended after the ODI World Cup final last year, but he was asked to continue in his role along with other support staff for the December-January tour to South Africa without finalising the tenure.
After the series-levelling win over England, Dravid tried to clear the air over Kishan's absence once again.
The head coach said Kishan will be back into national fold once he makes himself available for selection.
The former India captain will be available for the next two matches of the three-match series.
The batting great said the team will take a lot of confidence from the manner in which they bowled on the last tour two years ago.
South Africa is the only regular Test-playing country where India have yet to win a series.
Dravid & Co. will be monitoring the inter-squad game in preparation for the Test series.
The left-hander said that head coach Rahul Dravid asked him to just play his natural game and bat at No.5 or No.6
The BCCI did not reveal the duration of the extension but it is likely to cover the T20 World Cup in the West Indies and United States in June.
