Dravid on paternity leave

Dravid has been the best batsman this season for Bangalore, leading the team charts with 144 runs at a strike-rate of 135.84. His absence will affect Bangalore,as they are struggling. His side have lost three of their four matches so far, and have a tough game against the in-form Delhi Daredevils on Sunday.
Dravid had been expected to miss a part of the IPL on paternity leave, and it was one of the reasons franchise owner Vijay Mallya gave for replacing him with  Kevin Pietersen as captain for the second season.
