Rahul Dravid: The man for all occasions

With a sound technique, garnished by resilient approach towards the game, Rahul Dravid, was the man to look upon on during any crisis situation. Rahul Dravid’s retirement from Test cricket in 2012 brought down curtains to an auspicious Test career.

Rahul Dravid played his last Test against the Aussies in 2012 in Adelaide and though he couldn’t help India elude a 4-0 series whitewash, he already had attained heights to be deemed as one of the greats of the game. He wasn’t only tough to get on top of, but also was someone who had time and again grilled oppositions into frustration and eventually submission.

He didn’t get the luxury of playing a farewell Test but had the privilege of announcing his retirement in his home town in Bangalore in front of 200 people. With 13,288 runs in 164 matches, he concluded his career as the second highest run-getter in Test cricket.
