IPL 2018: The retired XI

#3 Rahul Dravid (Batsman)

Dravid has even played a T20I for India

An extremely underrated batsman in the IPL, Rahul Dravid, deservingly makes it to the list. To those who think he can't lay siege with the bat, the Wall scored a 36-ball unbeaten 75 smashing half a dozen of sixes and an equal number of fours in 2008 & a match-winning 66 off just 48 balls in the next season.

Both the knocks came batting down the order against his future team Rajasthan Royals. Chris Gayle even praised him, saying, "Rahul Dravid can play attacking cricket like me but I can never play like him."

Furthermore, the consistency in providing solid starts to Rajasthan Royals also kicked into his addition on the list. Jammy scored 450+ runs in his last two seasons of IPL career. Thenceforth, he took the role of a mentor for RR and later Delhi Daredevils before signing out to concentrate India's youth cricket duties.
