The Indian team will start its Super-8 campaign in the T20 World Cup 2024 with a match against Afghanistan today. India's head coach Rahul Dravid indicated on Wednesday before the match that either wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav or Yuzvendra Chahal could be included in the playing 11 for the match against Afghanistan. Dravid believes that the conditions there seem to be favorable for slow bowlers.
What did Dravid say about the pitch?
India relied on their fast bowlers at the Nassau County Stadium in New York as the 'drop-in' pitches there had uneven bounce which helped the fast bowlers. Talking to the media on the eve of the Super Eight match, Dravid said, 'It is difficult to keep anyone out. The conditions were a bit different for the fast bowlers in New York. We may need to do something different here (in Barbados). Yuji (Yuzvendra Chahal) or Kuldeep (Yadav) can be used here.'
'We have many all-rounders'
He said, 'We are fortunate that we have all-rounders. We had eight batsmen, but we also had seven bowling options.' Dravid also said that India will be flexible about its batting order and will change it according to the circumstances.
What did Dravid say about the batting order?
He said, 'Every situation is different. It cannot be set in stone. I believe in flexibility. In the match against Pakistan, we sent Akshar (Patel) up. Rishabh (Pant) was sent up (at number three), and a lot of thought was put into it. I don't think we will have this flexibility in Test (cricket). In T20 you see more flexibility in batting.'
'It feels good to come to West Indies'
Dravid said that it feels good to come to the West Indies for the Super Eight stage. He said, 'It is good to come and play cricket on Caribbean soil. Did some practice sessions. We are ready. Afghanistan is a very dangerous team. Their players play more in the league than our players. They are not a team that can be taken lightly. They deserve to be in the Super Eight.'
