WTC Final 2023: Indian Team Head Coach Rahul Dravid on Pressure to Win ICC Trophy
Rahul Dravid, Indian team head coach, has stated that his squad is not under any pressure to win an ICC Trophy ahead of the second World Test Championship (WTC) Final against Australia. As he addressed the media, Dravid expressed that while it would be great to win, he is proud of how his team has performed during this cycle.
“We don’t feel any pressure in terms of trying to win an ICC trophy. Of course, it would be nice to do it. Nice to be able to win an ICC tournament,” Dravid said.
Focusing on the Bigger Picture
Dravid went on to explain that the WTC Final is the culmination of two years of hard work and many successes. He believes that there are many positives to take from that, such as standing at the top of the table, winning series in Australia, drawing series here, and being competitive worldwide over the past five to six years.
He added, “Those are things that will never change, just because, you don’t have an ICC trophy. That’s really the bigger picture.”
Conclusion
The Indian team is determined to make the most of their opportunity in the WTC Final against Australia, without feeling the pressure of trying to win an ICC Trophy. While it would be great to win, Dravid is proud of the team’s accomplishments over the last few years and is focusing on the bigger picture.
