No home pressure: Dravid
Pti, Mumbai
Skipper Rahul Dravid has brushed aside suggestions that Indian players would be weighed down by the pressures of performing in front of home crowd in the Champions Trophy, saying his team was looking forward to the ten-team event beginning today."The Indian team and the whole country is really excited about the ICC Champions Trophy and we cannot wait to get into the competition, to play and see the excitement of the crowds and the public," Dravid was quoted as saying by the ICC's 'Cricket Quarterly'. "It's exciting to be the home team in an event of this magnitude but we don't look on that as creating added pressure. All we are looking to do is play good one-day cricket and achieve the right results," the Bangalore stalwart said. But the Indian skipper is wary of putting the cart before the horse, by focusing on the end result before they start their campaign (at Jaipur against England on October 15), which he thinks might put unnecessary pressure.
