Rahul Dravid's sudden decision to quit the captaincy today surprised the Indian
team members here ahead of their crucial match against Pakistan in the
Twenty20 World Cup.
Indian team's cricket manager Lalchand Rajput said the team was surprised
but its focus was intact for the match against the arch-rivals.
"We were all surprised to hear the news. He must be having
his reasons to do so and we must respect his decision," Rajput said.
Though the news came as a shocker, Rajput said, "The team
is focused on the game at hand." After their first match against Scotland
was washed out yesterday, Dhoni's side face arch-rivals Pakistan in a crucial
Group D match here tonight.
