Rahul Dravid Says Rohit Sharma Led India’s White-ball Evolution From The Front, Picks Current Side As Favourite For T20 WC
“India are playing T20 cricket at a different level than most teams. They have had an 80% success rate in the last few years, which is amazing in a format that has so many ups and downs. They clearly start as favourites, and they will make it to the semi-finals, but as I have learned to my bitter disappointment, it’s about the better team on the day. Anybody can play a good knock and upset you,” the legendary batter opined.
Dravid credited Rohit Sharma for steering India into a new avatar in the limited-overs format. “There was a feeling that we were slightly behind in white-ball cricket and needed to push the envelope a little more. Run rates were going up, risk-taking was increasing, and we needed to adapt to that reality,” said Dravid at an event in Bengaluru on Tuesday.
