The buzz around India’s T20 World Cup squad intensifies as the BCCI prepares to announce the 15-member team for the upcoming tournament. Former India opener Navjot Singh Sidhu has now added his voice to the conversation, offering head coach Rahul Dravid a straightforward piece of advice.
Speaking on Star Sports, Sidhu emphasized the importance of having a strong bowling lineup to win the tournament.
‘My straight advice to Rahul Dravid is that if you want to win this tournament, have five wicket-taking specialist bowlers, simple,” said Sidhu without mincing any words.
