“There is so much cricket that we aren’t having any time to reflect. In two days, we will be talking to you about something entirely different.” Rahul Dravid the Indian Head Coach stated and mentioned the upcoming T20I in two days. He added, “But we will certainly try and reflect on this performance. Every match is a lesson for us, and you tend to learn something.
