Mr. wall Dravid not looking at IPL as vehicle for ODI return

Former captain Rahul Dravid is not looking at next month's Indian Premier League as a vehicle to return to India's One-day squad but says he will just focus on playing good cricket and enjoy the new version of the game. "I am not thinking about it that way. I am focusing and trying to play good cricket and be fit. I just want to enjoy it and take it as one step at a time," Dravid said. Dravid admitted that he had not thought about the IPL when he refused participation in the Twenty20 World Championships. "I did not, to be very honest with you. But things happen and its exciting to be a part of something new, like I said it's a journey," he said. Dravid also said he felt lucky to see all the big developments while he was still playing cricket. "I feel lucky in a sense that I have played in a good era. I have been able to see this sort of Twenty20 thing towards the end of my career, to be a part of something since its inception and to see where it takes us," said the batsman, who is the captain of Bangalore's Royal Challengers team. "It could be something big and to be a part of it at least for a few years, it's something I am looking forward to," he said. On whether he had devised strategies for his IPL team, he said, "we will think about the strategy later. It's a 44-day long tournament, its going to be a lot of cricket. I believe we will be competitive."
