Rahul Dravid Popularity on Social Media. He is considered one of the greatest cricketers ever. Dravid started playing cricket when he was 12 years old.
He attended St. Lone performances by Sachin became the trend of Indian scorecards in the 90s. In the s, however, Sachin suddenly had a support structure. He could play freely, and he could become one of many forces to reckon with in the Indian middle order. The aforementioned support structure happened to be Rahul Sharad Dravid — the new symbol of solidity and grit in the Indian batting line-up of the 21st century.
He, however, had more capable and stable batsmen to support him, and a captain that understood him and stood by him. He has done so much for Indian cricket. Not just as a batsman, but as a captain as well. When do you show your technical prowess? When do you start playing your shots?
Is this the right time to bat aggressively? Are you sure you have enough knowledge of the conditions to take risks now? In a team with a genius like Sachin, a sorcerer like Laxman, swashbucklers like Sehwag and Dhoni, and the ever-so-volatile Sourav Ganguly, India needed a stabilizer. And they found one in Rahul Dravid. He is still remembered for some of the slowest innings he has played: 21 off at Nagpur, waving his bat after scoring his first run in 40 balls, to name a few.
Rahul Dravid, deserves to be remembered, for always, come what may, putting the team ahead of himself. For genuinely not caring what people thought about him as long as India won.
The stable, humble man full of resolve and aggression, known even in Indian Pop Culture as Mr. Whilst effective in Tests, it often frustrated fans in limited overs. By , he successfully shed his defensive style and no longer seemed shadowed by the famed Tendulkar-Ganguly opening duo.
A decade and a half later, he became the only Indian batsman barring Tendulkar never to have been dropped from the Test side since debut. Following the match-fixing controversy, he was appointed deputy to captain Ganguly and the added responsibility egged Dravid to greater consistency. By , he had scored centuries against every Test-playing nation.
Captaincy duty soon arrived but the spotlight repulsed him. It also affected his ODI form and after a poor World Cup he relinquished the armband to focus on his batting and was consequently dropped from ODIs and left out in the cold for 2 years. Still, his position in the classic format remained untouched, unquestioned.
Few could match his Test achievements, which remained consistent as ever, vindicating him even when people around were losing faith. He carried his huge experience in the IPL, where he represented the Royal Challengers Bangalore as captain in the first edition, before being bought by the Rajasthan Royals in He was then named captain-cum-coach-cum mentor of the Royals ahead of the fifth IPL edition in Despite being a batsman of high calibre, Dravid was not a part of the World Cup winning squad, but remained an integral cog in the Test set-up.
