Head Coach Rahul Dravid, Skipper Rohit Sharma & former captain Virat Kohli gave up their business-class seats to pace bowlers. According to ICC norms, a team gets 4 business class seats for travel and usually, these seats are occupied by Head Coach, Captain, Vice Captain, and Manager.
A support staff member was seen in an interaction with a media house and told the reason behind this initiative. “Before the tournament, we decided that since the pace bowlers clock the maximum mileage on field day in, day out, they need to stretch their legs.” said a Support staff member.
By the time India finishes their campaign, the team would have travelled around 34,000 km on this World T20 journey. They would also have experienced three time zones and played at venues that have been varyingly warm, windy or cold. In these constantly changing conditions, pacers run the risk of getting injured.

The management though would be hoping that Rohit Sharma smashes a brilliant knock as he has looked a bit scratchy. We all know that how lethal Rohit can be on his day. It would be interesting to see whether Yuzvendra Chahal gets a game as he has been seen warming the benches.
