Not a great concern, says Dravid

Potchefstroom: India’s shoddy performance in its only warm-up match ahead of the Champions Trophy is nothing to be concerned about, said senior batsman Rahul Dravid, insisting that the team would be “alright” once the main tournament gets underway.

Dravid said not much should be read into the team’s crushing 103-run defeat at the hands of New Zealand in a warm-up game here on Sunday.

“We shouldn’t read too much into it. When the main tournament begins, we would be alright,” Dravid said after the match.

Neither bowling nor batting clicked for India in the match and the team seemed to be missing explosive opener Virender Sehwag, who has been crucial to the team’s success while chasing big targets.

“It would have been better if were to train in Johannesburg or Centurion,” Dravid added. — PTI
