Rahul Dravid goes straight to Narendra Modi Stadium after landing in Ahmedabad, checks pitch for Pakistan match at WC
Indian head coach Rahul Dravid headed straight to the Narendra Modi Stadium ahead of India's match against Pakistan.
After arriving in Ahmedabad for the blockbuster clash between India and Pakistan at the ICC World Cup 2023, Indian head coach Rahul Dravid headed straight to the Narendra Modi Stadium on Thursday. Fresh from thrashing Afghanistan in their second match of the One Day International (ODI) World Cup, Rohit Sharma's Team India touched down in Ahmedabad for the showdown clash with arch-rivals Pakistan.
Arch-rivals India and Pakistan are set to resume their epic World Cup rivalry at the world's largest cricket stadium on Saturday. During the live telecast of South Africa's World Cup match against Australia, the official broadcaster showed a clip featuring Dravid, who was sternly inspecting the match pitch in Ahmedabad. As per the latest developments, the Indian head coach headed straight to the Narendra Modi Stadium and the batting legend was seen having a word with the curators perhaps to gauge what might be in store for the mouthwatering clash between India and Pakistan.
Fresh from their comfortable win over Afghanistan in match No.9 of the ODI World Cup, members of the Indian team landed in Ahmedabad on Thursday morning. Recovering from dengue, Indian opener Gill returned to the India nets in the build-up to the Pakistan clash at the World Cup. The 22-year-old was unavailable for the first two matches of the Indian team at the World Cup due to illness.
India replaced an unwell Gill with wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan in their crucial matches against Australia and Afghanistan. According to a report filed by PTI, Gill performed sprints and strides under the supervision of team doctor Rizwan at the match venue in Ahmedabad.
Talking more about the upcoming match, Babar Azam's Pakistan side received a grand welcome at the team hotel in Ahmedabad on Thursday. "Touchdown Ahmedabad. Capturing the journey, featuring a surprise in-flight celebration," the PCB captioned the video. Unbeaten in the 2023 edition ICC World Cup, Pakistan played their first two games in Hyderabad. World champions in the 1992 edition of the World Cup, Pakistan are touring India after a gap of seven years.
