Rahul Dravid big statement after losing t20 series against west indies
[ad_1]
West Indies won with two overs to spare. Dravid said, ‘The team that we fielded here did not give us the freedom to change the team composition. But I believe there are some areas in which we can do better. He said, ‘Bringing depth in the batting is one such area we are trying to work on. We are trying our best but it is definitely an area that we can look into. We cannot weaken our bowling but we have to make sure that we have some depth in our batting.
In contrast, the West Indies team is full of all-rounders and Alzarri Joseph was going to bat at number 11. Dravid said, ‘Scores keep getting bigger in this format. If you look at the West Indies, Alzarri Joseph comes in at number 11 and he can hit long hits. That’s why there are many teams which have depth in their batting.
He said, ‘Definitely we have some challenges in this matter and we need to work on them. This series definitely showed us that we have to strengthen our lower order batting. Tilak Verma, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Mukesh Kumar made their T20I debuts in this series and Dravid was impressed with the trio’s performances. Dravid said, “I believe all the three debutants have done their duty well. Yashasvi Jaiswal played a brilliant inning in the fourth match. He showed that what he did in IPL, he can replicate in international cricket.
He said, ‘Tilak Verma did really well in the middle order. He batted in difficult conditions on a few occasions but he showed his intent and batted positively. Mukesh made his debut across formats in this tour and I think he has adjusted very well. The focus will now be on ODI cricket ahead of the Asia Cup and World Cup and Dravid hinted that injured players including Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer could be given a chance in the Asia Cup. He said, ‘Some of our players are making a comeback after recovering from injury. We have to give him a chance in the Asia Cup. Our one-week camp for the Asia Cup starts in Bengaluru from 23rd August. We will look into it there.
