Big statement of Rahul Dravid, had these 2 players been there, Team India would not have been in such a bad condition

Team India had to face defeat by 4 runs in the third ODI at the hands of South Africa. South Africa defeated Team India 3-0 in the three-match ODI series. After losing to the South African team with less experience in the ODI series, questions are being raised on Team India. After the defeat, Team India’s head coach Rahul Dravid has given a big statement.

According to Rahul Dravid, if we had these 2 players in Team India, then the situation would not have deteriorated so badly. Rahul Dravid admitted that in ODI cricket, we missed Hardik Pandya at number six and Ravindra Jadeja at number seven. Dravid said, ‘The rhythm of the team depends on the balance. If we look honestly, the players who give balance to the team and provide options as all-rounders at number 6th, 7th, 8th were not available for selection.

Rahul Dravid said, ‘Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja are out due to fitness reasons. When he returns, the team will get depth. This will also give us the convenience to play in a different way. Dravid said, ‘You are batting at number 4, 5 or 6, then you should know what is the need of the team. Shreyas Iyer was dismissed early in all three matches. We know that all of them have been doing well and we will support them in every way possible. But there is a lot of competition for every place in the team and it is not easy in these conditions.

Soon many pictures will be clear in Team India

Rahul Dravid said, ‘Venkatesh Iyer has to mold himself in the middle order. We have to prepare players like Venkatesh Iyer as the sixth bowling option. Be it Venkatesh or Hardik Pandya or Ravindra Jadeja, when they come back, we will have many options. The picture will become clear. We know where we are and everyone is aware of our role. The picture will be clear with time, but the time limit cannot be fixed for that.
