Rahul Dravid's teammates sing laurels about his commitment to his team

'The wolf who lived for the pack'

This one quote summarises the life and career of Rahul Dravid.

He might not have been the most gifted but the cricketing world swears by his steel, his opponents marvel at his resolute spirit, his teammates sing laurels about his commitment to his team, to his game, to his art!

There were doubts over his one day game, he did not fire verbals to douse the detractors, he worked on his game, and came out as one the critical cogs of the Indian ODI outfit.

He has scored the most number of runs in India’s overseas wins, he has even smacked three consecutive sixes in his only T20I match, he has kept wickets too, well he could have walked on water, we never saw it, but he could have!

In the 504 matches he turned up for India, the Karnataka man piled up 24,064 runs at an average of 45.57.

Along the way, he scored 145 fifties and 48 centuries. He kept trying!

‘I have failed at times, but I have never stopped trying’, the career summarized by the man in his own words.
