5 life lessons given by Rahul Dravid

Leading from the front

Dravid was never shy to face the music first-up

Dravid is often remembered for being the captain when India were dumped out in the first round of the 2007 World Cup. However, during his time as skipper, he did have his fair share of moments when he proved he could be an excellent leader.

Like the time when he decided he would open the innings during the 2006 tour to Pakistan despite their being in Wasim Jaffer a genuine opening batsman in the squad in order to accommodate an additional bowler in cold conditions against the likes Shoaib Akhtar and co.

He may not have had the greatest of track records as captain, but there were leadership qualities in Dravid which one can utilize in their day-to-day lives.
