Rahul Dravid and the Royal Challengers

There has been a lot written about the rather inept Bangalore Royal Challengers. But, more specifically, a lot of attention has been devoted to Rahul Dravid.

The unofficial IPL blog wonders what’s in store for Dravid, and wonders if he’s done enough to foster team chemistry.

The biggest thing I have is that the team doesn’t seem to have the “cohesiveness”. The players don’t seem to be very comfortable with each other. One obvious evidence of this is the discouragingly high number of confused run calls.

RP compares his captaincy with that of Dhoni and — while he reckons Dhoni may have been a little lucky earlier on — he feels it’s the proactive nature of MS’s captaincy that makes him more successful over his predecessor.

And to round this off, a post from Prem Panicker on the BRC, following its snatch-defeat-from-victory act against the Chennai Super Kings.
