Dungarpur warns India against complacency
15.16 IST   29th Feb 2004

By IndiaExpress Bureau

Former BCCI president Raj Singh Dungarpur today said the Indian cricket team holds an edge over Pakistan in batting but warned them against "complacency" if they wished success in the upcoming tour of that country.

"The Indians should not become complacent and concentrate on the game till the last ball is bowled," Dungarpur said in Mumbai.

"They should also not worry too much about the security as the Indian government will make sure that the players are well protected on and off the field," he said.

Dungarpur praised the young talents of the Pakistan team but said they were still lacking in "experience" to tackle India's top batsmen.

"As far as the Pakistan team is concerned, they are at a rebuilding stage, though they have a very good bowling attack.

Only thing that is lacking in their attack is experience to bowl against one of the best batting line-up in the world." He, however, put a word of caution saying that the Pakistanis would definitely have the advantage of playing at home.

Dungarpur, who was the chairman of national selection committee in 1970s, said the heroics on the Australian tour could be repeated against Pakistan in their backyard.

"Personally, I feel this is the best Indian team to have toured Australia and with most of them sure of retaining their places, I can say they could repeat the performance when they land on Pakistan soil," he said.
