    Rahul Dravid Says Rohit Sharma Led India’s White-ball Evolution From The Front, Picks Current Side As Favourite For T20 WC

    T20 World Cup: Former India captain and coach Rahul Dravid has credited Rohit Sharma with leading the white-ball evolution in the country from the front and picked India as the favourite for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, starting on February 7.

    “India are playing T20 cricket at a different level than most teams. They have had an 80% success rate in the last few years, which is amazing in a format that has so many ups and downs. They clearly start as favourites, and they will make it to the semi-finals, but as I have learned to my bitter disappointment, it’s about the better team on the day. Anybody can play a good knock and upset you,” the legendary batter opined.

    Dravid credited Rohit Sharma for steering India into a new avatar in the limited-overs format. “There was a feeling that we were slightly behind in white-ball cricket and needed to push the envelope a little more. Run rates were going up, risk-taking was increasing, and we needed to adapt to that reality,” said Dravid at an event in Bengaluru on Tuesday.
