Indian captain Rahul Dravid is happy the talk is almost over, with the World Cup less then three weeks away. Speaking at the launch of the team's new uniform Dravid had the following to say -"In some ways, it's a relief that the World Cup has finally arrived after the amount of discussions that have taken place on television and in the newspapers over the last several months which is understandable in a World Cup year"
"We are finally going out and performing on the field. It's an exciting opportunity and a great challenge for us as it's the pinnacle of one-day cricket in the world. We will try and give our very best. Everyone in the team is excited" he added.
However, Dravid admits captaining the team in a cricket mad nation can be difficult at times.
"Captaining the team has been an exciting experience over the last 16 to 18 months. For a kid growing up in India it is obviously a dream to play for India.
"But there are definitely more headaches when you are captain than when you are just a player in the team.
"I am sure Sachin (Tendulkar) and Sourav (Ganguly) will agree."
India kicks off its campaign on the 17th of March against Bangladesh.
