Ahead of the series opener at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium, Dravid addressed the press on Tuesday, where he said “We are not thinking about the World Record. We don’t pay attention to such stats. If we play well, we will win and if we don’t we won’t.”

India’s 12 consecutive T20I wins

Hence, if they beat South Africa on June 9, the men in blue will become the first team in the history of this sport to win 13 consecutive T20I matches, but instead of thinking too much about it, Dravid has encouraged his players to keep their focus on their performance.

Besides that, he also heaped praise on all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who is returning to the Indian team after winning IPL 2022 with Gujarat Titans. “Very pleasing to have Hardik Pandya back. Hardik’s leadership was impressive right through the IPL. You need to be a designated leader to be part of a leadership group. From our perspective, we would want to get the best out of his skills, batting bowling and fielding,” the head coach said.
