The Indian team bus left for hotel from airport but head coach Rahul Dravid and his coaching staff took a detour to Eden Gardens on Friday to get a first-hand look of the track allocated for Sunday’s World Cup game against South Africa.
It’s a classic Dravid trait and in most cities, the head coach will find some time to get a feel of the 22-yard strip upon arrival. The entire outfield sans two tracks were under cover as the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) didn’t want to take a risk with forecast of unseasonal showers in next two days.
