Rahul Dravid wants Team India to give better performance in West Indies as compared to 2006
Former captain, Rahul Dravid, expects the Indian cricket team to come up with even better performance in the upcoming West Indies tour than the one they demonstrated in 2006.
During India’s tour to West Indies in 2006, the team, under the superb captaincy of Dravid, made a mark in history by winning a Test series on West Indian soil after the long period of 35 years.
Dravid led his side to a triumph in the four-match series and become the only second Indian captain to have won Test series in Caribbean after Ajit Wadekar.
"We won the series there last time around but I hope we will do better this time," Dravid said.
However, the stylish batsman admitted that the Windies will not prove to be an easy opposition in their home conditions.
The former skipper added, "If the West Indies play their full strength side, they will be a tough team to beat. But it will be interesting to see if they have their full side."
Dravid, widely known as ‘The Wall’, has served his country in 150 Tests in which he scored over 12000 runs at a fabulous average of 52.44.
The 38-year-old player, who featured in the last Indian Premier League edition for Royal Challengers Bangalore, is representing Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing season.
On his team’s not-so-impressive performance in the Twenty20 league, Dravid explained that inexperience was the prime reason behind Rajasthan’s failure to reach the knockouts.
However, he referred to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ashok-c46345 Menaria and Ajinkya Rahane as two excellent players who can do the trick for the Jaipur outfit in the future.
"Happy to see some young players like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajasthan-c837," the classy batsman shared.
The Royals are scheduled to go against Sachin Tendulkar-led Mumbai Indians in their next match on Friday, May 20, 2011.
With Shane Warne is all set to retire from cricket, it will be his last game. Dravid cited Warne-Tendulkar clash as an exciting one to watch.
