Despite four successive defeats in the Indian Premier League, Bangalore Royal Challengers skipper Rahul Dravid has refused to buy the theory that his team is a Test outfit playing Twenty20 cricket.

The presence of stalwarts in Jacques Kallis and Dravid hasn’t worked to Bangalore’s advantage as they have struggled to come to terms with the IPL format.

But Dravid says his team has the capacity to bounce back. The former India captain feels that his team has been unlucky in the IPL and has lost quite a few games narrowly.

Bangalore lost to Chennai by 13 runs and to Delhi Daredevils by 10 as Dravid said:"I think we lack the X-factor. I don't agree we're a Test team in T20 clothing.”

“We almost pulled it off against Chennai and Delhi. I think our fifth bowler is giving away too many runs. Misbah-ul Haq is also waiting, he will also get a game," Dravid was quoted as saying to Times of India.

His teammate from South Africa, Kallis said: "Leading a side in T20 is the most difficult job because you have no time to react. Our openers haven't clicked. It's frustrating. But Dravid is as good as anyone I've played under."
