Head coach Rahul Dravid has called for patience as the Indian team goes through a rebuilding phase for the next cycle of the T20 World Cup and the youngsters in the side get some experience. Dravid felt inexperience was one of the main reasons for India's 16-run defeat to Sri Lanka in the second T20I here. The former India captain pointed out that while the visitors had a pretty sorted playing XI, the hosts fielded a completely different side than the one which played the T20 World Cup less than two months back. "They (youngsters in the team) are very skilful, but as they are learning, it's a tough (job). It's not easy learning in international cricket and you have to learn on the job. So, we've got to have a little bit of patience with these guys," Dravid said at the post-match press conference on Thursday. Dravid said the team was in the rebuilding phase, given the "next cycle of the T20 (World Cup)" had started. He added that youngsters will be handled patiently and will continue

Mithali Raj has predicted an India-New Zealand final in the ongoing T20 World Cup. The former India captain's semifinalists include South Africa and either England or defending champions Australia.

And the finalists, there is no doubt, India has to be there, and New Zealand, she told Star Sports. Mithali, who retired from international cricket after a glittering career, made her commentary debut with the India-South Africa clash on Sunday. With two wins in three games, India are placed second in Group 2 behind South Africa. The final will be played at the MCG on November 13.

Former India cricketer Suresh Raina says Virat Kohli deserves to draw the curtains on his T20 captaincy stint by winning the shortest format's World Cup in the UAE and Oman. Kohli will step down from T20 captaincy after the World Cup and Raina said the talismanic batter deserves a befitting farewell from his teammates. "For India, the message at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup is simple -- do it for Virat Kohli. "It will probably be his last time at this tournament as captain, so it's very important for him to make everyone believe we can do it and for us to get behind him," Raina wrote in a column for ICC. "India fans can't wait for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021 to start for this reason. We have the players, we have the momentum - we just need to go out there and execute now." Raina feels the Indian players featuring in the IPL in the UAE could help them during the World Cup. "All of our players have just played the Indian Premier League in the UAE and they have played themselves
