Rahul Dravid was branded as a Test match specialist for so long when he entered the International arena, but the 1999 World Cup proved to be a turning point in his career as an ODI batsman. He scored 2 centuries in that tournament and ended up as a leading scorer in that edition of the Cup.
He and the Indians were within touching distance of lifting the Cup in the 2003 edition but were dominated in the finals by a ruthless Australian team. In the 2007 World Cup, he led the team but were shown the door in the group stages of the tournament.
Dravid is one of the few players in the world to have crossed the 10,000-run mark in both the Test and ODI format and is one of the greatest of all time. He has been a thorough gentleman and a once-in-a-lifetime cricketer.
