As the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 draws near, attention is squarely focused on the Indian cricket team’s quest to break their prolonged drought of ICC trophies. This tournament holds particular significance for head coach Rahul Dravid, marking his final opportunity to lead the senior men’s team to glory before his tenure concludes after the event.

Amidst the mounting pressure, cricket icon Brian Lara has offered a succinct message to Dravid on how India can finally overcome this hurdle. While acknowledging the talent within the Indian squad, Lara emphasizes the importance of a strategic approach over mere star power.

“Indian team, just looking from the outside, in previous Cups, be it T20 or 50-overs, I just feel they are lacking that final plan in terms of how they are going to go about. It doesn’t matter how many superstars you have; it matters how you are going to go about winning this World Cup, what plans you are going to have in place, and how you are going to structure your innings or attack,” Brian Lara remarked, as quoted by Hindustan Times.

Lara’s insights stem from India’s recent struggles, where they have faltered in crucial moments despite boasting a formidable lineup. The former West Indies captain urges Coach Dravid to devise a clear, meticulously crafted plan to navigate the high-pressure scenarios of the tournament.

“I hope Rahul Dravid can get his players together and can devise a plan for India to win the T20 World Cup,” Brian Lara expressed.
