Dravid believes T20 format allows batsmen to experiment fearlessly

Rediff.com14 Jul 2016

Former India captain Rahul Dravid believes that having the liberty to 'practice and experiment' risky shots in addition to the leniency shown by team managements with regards to failures are helping batsmen to improve and flourish in the T20 format. "We are more accepting of failure, I think, in T20 cricket than we are in any other form of the game," Dravid was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo. "When a batsman takes risks and plays a paddle sweep or a reverse sweep or all the kinds of shots that they play, you're more likely to view it with a certain degree of acceptance than you would, say, in a Test match or in one-day cricket. This has given batsmen freedom to try and experiment with these things more and they're getting better and better at it."
