In such a situation, now they will enter the field with the best combination. Such incidents keep happening in sports. In such a situation we will continue the campaign like the last four matches.
We also don’t want to focus too much on the performance of other team players. Rahul said that the New Zealand players are playing a great game. They also have a lot of experience playing in India, they also have experienced players available. In such a situation, a great match will be seen in Sunday’s match.

Important points of Rahul Dravid in the press conference…

Surya or Ishaan may also get a chance
Dravid said that Surya played well against Australia too, Ishaan can do better with the left arm. In such a situation, they will field only under circumstances. It is quite cold in the grounds of Dharamshala and there will also be a dew factor. In such a situation, it would be better to defend after winning the toss. There was a target chase in Dharamsala and the Netherlands defended the score. In such a situation, we will perform according to the conditions and focus on winning the match accordingly.
Suryakumar Yadav is yet to make his ODI World Cup debut.
It is not necessary to score 300 runs every time in ODIs
Regarding the 300 plus score being made in the tournament, Rahul said that scoring more than 300 in every match is not appropriate. Fours and sixes on every ball are not important, T20 format is for this kind of game. In ODIs there should be an important competition between the batsmen and the bowlers, in such a situation it is better to look at every skill. Small scores happen even in big matches, so don’t complain about it. Sometimes 350 plus scores are made if the pitch is good.
