“The match is slowly slipping out of India’s hands, their only hope being Rahul Dravid”. Well this is the usual din of a typical Australian encounter. Wickets slowly collapsing and the Indian batting lineup silently yet blatantly abused by the fast-paced intimidating Australian attack.
Rahul Dravid known for his solid defence and amazing technique complemented by grace and beauty is a treat to watch. Known for his cover drive and dependability, he never fails to perform. As cool as cucumber, he slowly splits open the foe and emerges victorious.
A true sportsman, seldom fallen prey to controversies, he always remained a “clean” cricketer. Brick by brick, with amazing and classy textbook cricket, the legend compiles an innings worth remembering.
A great reputation and an amazing track record supplemented the fact that he was a great player. He often adapted to the team’s requirements, gauged the seriousness of the scenario and played accordingly. He set a perfect example for the youngsters and always encouraged them.
All in all, he was a true team player and played in the spirit of the game. Kudos to the great ‘Jammy’ who was and I believe will always be remembered as an extremely loyal and committed member of the team. Here’s a toast to a legend in the game ! May you continue to win all your matches in your life ahead.
