WATCH: Rahul Dravid’s Comical Remark Cracks Up Journalists During A Press Conference

The Rohit Sharma-led Indian team displayed dominating performance in the Group stage of the ongoing edition of the Asia Cup. The star-stubbed team registered clinical victories over their arch-rivals Pakistan and Hong Kong respectively in their first two games of the tournament. 

India is now all set to lock horns against Babar Azam-led Pakistan yet again in the highly-anticipated encounter of Super-Sunday (September 4). The game will be crucial and indeed holds a lot of importance in terms of the race for the Finals. Both the teams would be desperate to clinch a victory.

The final of the marquee Asian tournament will take place on September 11 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. India and Pakistan are front-runners to make it into the grand finale, however, the likes of Sri Lanka and Afghanistan cannot be taken casually.

Rahul Dravid comes up with a funny remark:

Meanwhile, Rahul Dravid was in the limelight on social media as he managed to crack up the journalists in a pre-match press conference. The press interaction took place yesterday (Saturday) and was a part of the build-up for the India-Pakistan match.

Here’s what happened:

One of the journalists asked the Indian head coach about the quality of the Pakistani bowling line-up comparing it to the Indian bowling attack. Dravid was quick to respond and stated that Indian bowlers are as effective as Pakistan. He further said that he wants to use a word but humorously refused to use it. The 49-year-old mentioned that the four-letter word starts from ‘S’.

Here’s what Rahul Dravid said:

“You have to respect their bowling certainly and I’m very confident that we have a very good bowling attack as well, that produces results. It might not be as…I wanted to use a word, but I can’t use that word,”
