Under Pressure Rahul Dravid Delivers Brutal "No Options" Message To Rajasthan Royals

Head coach Rahul Dravid on Wednesday acknowledged that Rajasthan Royals cannot afford another slip-up after sliding to eighth on the IPL points table and his team has "no option" other than start "winning games quickly."

"It's a very important game for us, in fact, every game from here on in, as the position we find ourselves in, we can't afford to make many mistakes. This stage is a tournament… just over half way, we find ourselves at the bottom half of the table," Dravid said in the pre-match press conference.
