After over two months of hectic Indian Premier League (IPL), the Indian cricket team players are gearing up for the five-match T20I series against the South African cricket team, starting on Thursday. The series will be among the build-up contests that India will take part in as they look to find the perfect combination for the 2022 T20 World in Australia in October-November.

With Team India's big guns being rested often, coach Rahul Dravid doesn't want to cast his net too wide in run-up to Twenty20 World CupNEW DELHI: In seven months as Team India's head coach, Rahul Dravid has made it clear that he prefers consistency in selection. Though the IPL has thrown up a wide range of options and probable combinations, Dravid is not one to fall into the trap and make knee jerk changes to his plans. He has already made it clear that he is against casting his net too wide in the run-up to the T20 World Cup later in the year. During the IPL, he has been quietly observing the talent coming through and the performances of his first-choice players. Back in charge of the Indian team barely a week after the IPL, Dravid is holding his ground and is against making sweeping statements on players. After all, he has been synonymous with the word "process" for a long time. Under the scorching sun at Ferozeshah Kotla on Tuesday, with the bulk of India's marquee players being rested for the T20I series against South Africa, Dravid is steadfastly sticking to this "process".

Kohli, in fact, is the most followed cricketer on Instagram, and among sportspersons, only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have more followers than the prolific batter.
