India's team to Bangladesh in 2000: Where are they now?

Rahul Dravid

A watershed year in 1999, complete with him being the highest run-getter in the World Cup, made Rahul Dravid one of the sheet anchors of the Indian batting line-up as they entered a new millennium. Against Bangladesh, he scored a sedate 41 that helped the visitors chase a paltry target of 61.

He continued to play for the Indian team for the next decade, becoming India’s most trusted batsman with his unique ability to soak in pressure and blunt the best of bowling attacks.

There were mixed results as captain of the Indian team, before he stepped down and continued as a pure batsman till March 2012, when he retired from the game after a poor series in Australia.

Now the coach of the India-A and U-19 sides, under his tutelage the India-junior side won the Asia Cup recently.
