IND vs SA | Team India's head coach Rahul Dravid addressed the press conference a day before the second Test against South Africa on Sunday. Dravid expressed concern about India's over-rate in Tests in the pre-match conference. He said that this is an area on which we need to work. He also said that this is not a big concern in domestic conditions but when it comes to foreign tours, he needs to look into it.

Dravid said in the pre-match press conference, 'ICC is trying something and it is harsh but it is us to speed up the game so I am with it. The rules are same for everyone. It's difficult. We are playing with four fast bowlers. This is an area in which we need to get better. It's disappointing to lose a point. There is no problem in India. It needs to be seen abroad.

Significantly, the Indian cricket team was fined 20 percent of the match fee on Friday for slow over rate in the first Test against South Africa. Apart from this, a point was deducted from Team India's ICC Men's World Test Championship for not completing the over in the stipulated time. In the Centurion Test, Team India under the leadership of Virat Kohli created history by defeating South Africa by 113 runs.

Team India is leading 1-0 in the three-Test series. The second Test is to be held in Johannesburg. Team India has never lost on this ground. India has played 5 Test matches at the Wanderers Stadium in the last 29 years. Out of these 5 Test matches, India has won two matches, while three matches have been drawn.
