Team India head coach Rahul Dravid has claimed that he could have answered 18 months ago who we were looking at at No.4 and No.5. He has now also said that there is a lot of hype about the middle order, but that should not happen. He attributed this to player injuries, as many players who were injured this year were middle-order batsmen.
There were concerns about the No. 4 and No. 5 spots due to injuries to Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul. Players like Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav were given chances, but failed to hit the mark. Rahul Dravid revealed that the team management was always eyeing the trio of KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant for the middle order in the World Cup before the trio got injured.
“There is a lot of talk about No. 4 and No. 5 and it seems we don’t have clarity on who will be there,” Rahul Dravid said at a press conference during the ongoing Asia Cup training camp in Alur, Bengaluru. Told you 18 or 19 months ago who the candidates would be, we’re looking for the No. 4 or No. 5 spot for the World Cup. It was always between Shreyas, KL and Rishabh.”
Head coach Dravid further said that all these players were dropped from the team at the same time and thus did not help to improve the situation. He said, “There was no doubt in our minds that all three of them would be in the running. Obviously, it’s unfortunate that all three had injuries in the space of a few months in that situation. What are the chances of that happening? No one has calculated it.” can.”
He further added, “To be honest, the word experiment is heard a lot, but nobody thinks about it. I don’t mean that we experiment just for the sake of experimenting. Sometimes there are specific reasons why you have to do certain things. ” The Indian cricket team is currently eyeing the Asia Cup 2023, but the World Cup to be held in India must be on everyone’s mind.
