World Cup | ‘Teams need to adapt to different venues’

The Hindu  

The Indian cricketers, split into two groups, limbered up with some warm-up sport, kicking a football across a line of chairs. Asked about a safe total on Indian surfaces, he dead-panned: “One run more than the opposition.” He then explained: “It’s hard to tell. We will play on a relatively bigger ground in Chennai compared to say when we go to Bangalore or Delhi.” There was an interlude about New Zealander Rachin Ravindra’s first name that blends Rahul and Sachin and Dravid grinned and said: “Watching him bat yesterday, he hit five sixes. It still allows you to see good innings like the ones from those left-handers, it allows you to see a lot of good spin, rotation of strike and a lot of creativity.” Dravid also backed Suryakumar Yadav to come good in ODIs. We know that his preferred route of scoring runs in the T20 format has been square of the wicket but in one-day cricket you have got to find other ways, other areas to access, and credit to him, he is working really hard.” Decades ago, Dravid was a regular in Chennai’s league cricket and all that distilled experience might come in handy as his wards launch their World Cup campaign over the weekend.
