ind vs eng 1st test match after the defeat rahul dravid statement came out said the advantage of a good start wks | IND vs ENG: Dravid’s statement after the defeat said

India’s head coach Rahul Dravid believes that three batsmen of the Indian team looked ready to play for a long time on the field, but ultimately they missed the mark. Dravid emphasized this fact in the post-match press conference and said, ‘I thought we probably left 70 runs on the board in the first innings. You know, I think in our first innings, when the conditions were quite good to bat on the second day, I thought in the kind of conditions we were stuck in, we got some good starts and we couldn’t really take advantage of it. ‘ Dravid further said, ‘We did not score a century, you know, we did not find anyone who played a really big innings for us. So, in some ways, in India, I felt we gave up those 70, 80 runs. We all know that the second innings is always challenging. It’s one of those things that, you know, it’s hard. Chasing 230 is not easy or it is not done very often. While defending the young batsmen and talking about their skills, Dravid further said that in the current Test set-up, there are many young players who are still learning the art of playing long innings.
