Surprised with the nature of wickets in Australia, former India captain Rahul Dravid, said that team India should hope that the wickets remain slow during the World Cup. However, Dravid was of the view that playing in different surfaces will pose a challenge of its own. "It's going to be a challenge, it is not easy. You are playing in very different conditions," Dravid told reporters on sidelines of an event. It was a bit "strange" to see that most of the Australian wickets were slow during the recently-concluded Test series and Dravid hopes the pitches behave in the same manner to assist India's most potent weapon, spin. "That's the advantage India has, if the wickets stay slower and lower as we have seen in the Test matches, then the spinners will come into the mix and India can afford to play two and even three spinners," he said.
