Rahul Dravid said this
The head coach of the Indian team, Rahul Dravid, said that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli rested to give chances to other players. We have to take such risks. We have to test them so they can play when the key players are injured. Some injured players are currently in the National Cricket Academy. Before the Asian Cup, it was necessary to give other players a chance.
He said that to be honest, this is our last chance to test with other players. There is only one month left in the Asian Cup. We have little time, we hope that some of the injured players will be fit until the Asian Cup and the World Cup, but we can’t take any chances.
players have to prepare
Coach Rahul Dravid said that there is uncertainty about the players due to injuries and in such a situation it is important for us to test other players so that they are ready for any situation. This also gives us the opportunity to make some decisions regarding the players. We have to prepare players for certain batting orders.
Batsmen scored fewer runs
Rahul Dravid said of the second ODI that the field was not easy to bat and his team fell short 50-60 runs. He said we’re a little disappointed. We know that the wicket was not easy to bat. We had to score 230 to 240 runs. It would have been a good score. But we keep losing ground. We got off to a good start and someone should have taken responsibility for building the inlets.
