India has talent to lift the World Cup: Dravid

Bangalore, Feb 24 (UNI) The pace and bounce of the Caribbean pitches would hardly be a deterrent for Team India as it has the right mix of talent to lift the World Cup starting next month, asserts skipper Rahul Dravid.

Speaking on 'Challenges in Team Building and Talent Management' at a panel discussion here last night, Dravid said, ''we have the required talent and chances for Team India (to win the World Cup) is good.'' Replying to a question, he said the pitches in the West Indies will be similar to those at home and it should not have any adverse impact on the performance of the players.

The skipper, however, chose not to speak about any Individual player when asked about the current form of pacer Irfan Pathan and opener Virender Sehwag.
