India's head coach Rahul Dravid is one of the shyest personalities in the game of cricket. He hardly criticizes players and is loved by fans. Meanwhile, during the pre-match press conference ahead of the upcoming India-Pakistan clash, Dravid left the journalist in splits. Apparently, he was speaking on the Pakistan pace bowling attack and added that his pacers also did well.

After a while, he wanted to use the S word to describe the bowling performance of Pakistan pacers but refrained from doing so. The journalists realized that he was trying to use the word ‘sexy’.

“Of course, they are a very good bowling side and they did well. But our bowlers also did a decent job by restricting them to 147. It may reflect in numbers that someone bowled at 145 or 147kph, but at the end of the day, it’s bowling analysis that matters. Skills are judged by the results you produce,” said Dravid at the presser.

“Bowling analysis of our bowlers was also pretty good. I respect their bowling but I believe we have a really good bowling attack that produces results. It might not be as…I want to use a word but can’t. The word in my mind is coming out of my mouth, but I can't use it. It’s a four-letter word that starts with ‘S’, but ok. The point I am trying to make is that it might not look as glamorous but in terms of production of results, we have got some guys who produce results.”

Talking about the clash, this will be the return clash between India and Pakistan in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022. In the first game played between the two teams last weekend, the Men In Blue came up trumps in the close encounter in Dubai. One week after the game, both teams will meet each other on September 4 at the same venue.
