5 life lessons given by Rahul Dravid

The Ultimate Team Man

Never the one to say 'no' to any challenge

There are two types of athletes in the world: Those who are selfish and those who are selfless. One look at Dravid's career and it won't be hard to say in which of the two categories he belonged to.

He didn't like wicket-keeping, yet for the sake of team balance, he took up the role and did the best that he could. He never liked opening the batting, but the moment there was an injury to a regular opener, he was asked to move one slot up and he did it without making much noise.

He once said he took up the tough jobs because he himself wanted to find out how good he could be in those situations. Perhaps we could try taking up a role we aren't good at for the same reason.
