Team India starts every ICC tournament as favourites for the title, such has been the expectation from the Men in Blue. After bowing out of the T20 World Cup last year in the group stage, there was more hope this around as the Rohit Sharma-led unit touched down in Australia.

While Dravid spoke on various issues, including KL Rahul’s form, and Dinesh Karthik’s injury during the recent South Africa game, he was also questioned about Karthik and Rishabh Pant.
