NEW DELHI: Indian veteran batsman Rahul Dravid refuted Australian media reports that there is any rift in the team and said spirit is high ahead of the third Test at Perth.
An article in Australian newspaper Herald Sun says, "Virender Sehwag is the man polarizing opinions in the Indian rooms." The paper quotes Australian pacer Ryan Harris as saying that the "Indians were fighting among themselves" and the team does not have unity.
According to the article there is a division in the team on who should captain the Indian team. According to the report, some players are in favour of Sehwag as captain while a section wants Mahendra Singh Dhoni to continue as skipper.
If players are to be believed, the atmosphere inside the dressing room is not as it is being made out in the media, particularly Australian, but the spirit after two big losses is certainly low. They feel that one good performance on the field could help the team turn the corner.
Celebrating his 39th birthday on Wednesday, India's batting mainstay Dravid also said the green Perth pitch will be a great challenge for Indian batsmen in a do-or-die third Test.
