Rahul Dravid's observations

The head coach has expressed that he believes that both of the teams are equally strong. He explained that usually one team has the upper hand but this time around he feels that the ground is even. He has detected that the major strength of the Afghani team lies in their skill of serving spinners when it comes to bowling. To combat this he recognises that the Indian Team will have to pay heed when batting and be prepared for facing spinning serves. The Indian bowlers will also have to deliver throws that are challenging for the Afghani batters to hit.
