'They are being picked on merit' - Rahul Dravid defends middle order failure after Hyderabad loss

India TV News  

India suffered a shocking 28-run defeat on Day 4 of the first Test match against England on Sunday. Despite taking a 190-run lead in the first innings, the hosts fell to pull off a result after an unexpected middle order collapsed at Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. India head coach Rahul Dravid faced the media in the post-match press conference in Hyderabad and explained the reasons behind India's loss. He highlighted India's lack of runs in the second innings and also added that India fell 70 runs short in the first innings. "I thought we left probably 70 runs on the board in the first innings," Rahul Dravid said in a press conference.
