SK Flashback: Rahul Dravid walks into the sunset

Cracked the ODI nut

He excelled in ODI cricket and silenced many of his critics

Dravid also talked about the support that he had received during the tough phases of his career. He said, “A career in sport is almost impossible to manage without the support, and guidance, and reassurance of family and friends. During tough times, and there always are, this is whom we go to.”

Speaking about tough times, the ODI format was considered a tough nut for Dravid to crack. He was written off for not scoring runs quickly and that the shorter format of the game was not his cup of tea. But the fact that he scored 10,000 plus ODI runs at an average close to 40 just goes to show that he cracked both Tests and ODIs.
