Also, according to Rahul Dravid, India conceded 157 runs in the last session of the first day, which cost the team dearly. According to Rahul Dravid, the bowlers gave a lot of room to the batsmen, the line was far out and Travis Head scored fast. After this, Dravid told that the batsmen of Team India lost their wickets by playing bad shots on the fourth day.

What did Dravid say on fielding first?

Rahul Dravid also defended the decision of fielding first after winning the toss. According to Dravid, fielding first has been better in the last few matches in England. England’s pitch has been good for batting later. Also, the sky was cloudy on the first day at the Oval, the pitch was green, so Team India decided to field first. Dravid told that when three wickets fell for Australia’s 70 runs, he felt this decision was right, but the way he bowled badly in the last session, he got out of hand.
