India lead trainer Rahul Dravid was a satisfied man after the 3-0 series prevail upon Afghanistan as scarcely any periphery players performed well to give the group more choices for the T20 World Cup in June. India played 11 T20s after the ODI World Cup last year and the research organization had the option to have a more critical glance at certain competitors, for example, Jitesh Sharma and Shivam Dube after bleeding edge players were given a rest. Dravid was very chuffed at their endeavors.
“We’ve had various individuals play after the last ODI World Cup for different reasons. In any case, I believe it’s only good to see that there are a few choices (in front of the World Cup) who have put their hand up, and surely shown that they have abilities to address.
“A few regions we could require some tending to in, and we were mulling over everything,” Dravid said in his post-match public interview.
The main worry for Dravid was the absence of group time in front of the show-stopper to be held in the West Indies and the USA.
The three-match series against Afghanistan, which India won 3-0, was India’s last T20 task in front of the World Cup.
“Sadly, we truly will not have a lot of cricket as a group any longer. We will clearly have the IPL, and you know, everybody will observe near perceive how a portion of those folks play and what are the spaces we really want to fill in the group,” he said.
Dube arose player of the series against Afghanistan for his 124 runs and two wickets, and Dravid was eager to have an all-rounder choice to consider.
“He’s returned after quite a while. He’s absolutely a lot of a better player in the wake of returning. There’s no question that he generally had the ability, yet very glad to see the manner in which he acted in the series.
“I’m certain it will provide him with a ton of certainty too, you return and play a series and you become the man of the series. It’s perfect and has surely put his hand up. He will have that amazing chance to show it in the IPL once more, as he did last year,” said Dravid.
The wicketkeeper’s opening also will go under examination as India currently have different options in Jitesh, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul and Rishabh Gasp, who is yet to recapture full wellness.
The previous Indian commander didn’t preclude anybody from conflict.
“We have many keeping choices out there. We saw two or three people in this game. There’s Sanju, Kishan and Rishabh, I mean, we have this large number of folks.
“We’ll simply need to perceive how everything work out throughout the span of the following couple of months and pursue a choice on our thought process is the most effective way to go.”
The 51-year-old Bengaluru man was likewise dazzled by chief Rohit Sharma’s choice to give the ball to leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi in the second Really Over against Afghanistan on Wednesday night.
Bishnoi effectively safeguarded 11 runs excusing Mohammed Nabi and Rahmanullah Gurbaz in progressive balls.
“Rohit went with Bishnoi and it was his stomach call. I think he felt that a spinner had a superior opportunity to take two wickets. Assuming they batted six balls, with the power that they had, they likely would have 12 runs.
“In any case, I thought Bishnoi was splendid on the grounds that he bowled two super balls. He pulled the length back. Assuming the length had gone somewhat more full, you know, it would have gone for six. It was a great stomach call from Rohit to go for the wickets and be more forceful as opposed to searching for a more secure choice,” Dravid added.
