Indian vice-captain Rahul Dravid, who is in top form in the current India-Pakistan series, seems to be a major cause of worry for Pakistan, which will play the Test series decider in Bangalore from March 24.

Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq, responding sportively to a query while interacting with participants who had won a contest held by Pepsi, minced no words in admitting that Dravid was in form in the current series.

"Yes, he is playing well. He is a good batsman," Inzamam said of Dravid, whose centuries in both innings helped India to a splendid 195-run victory in the second Test at Kolkata.

To a question from a participant on Pakistan's plans to square the series in Bangalore, where they would have to concentrate on getting Dravid's wicket, he said, "the team will chalk out the strategy".

Inzamam also had a word of advice to the gathering — "be sincere, it will bring success to you".

India's all rounder Yuvraj Singh, who was also present said he would have been a tennis player, had he not been a cricketer.

"There are six batsmen in the squad. I want all of them to do well for the country," he said.

Thirty six contestants participated in the programme.
