Not surprisingly, Rahul Dravid is the seventh highest in the long-getter in ODIs with 10,820 runs, an average of nearly 40 years. He was a regular member of the India one-day squad until 2007, and it was often taken from there to the next generation of cricketers made their presence felt. However, Dravid dominated the event with a tireless effort and played a key role in the way of India to the pinnacle of success. In fact, Dravid declared his intention to concentrate solely on Test cricket, announcing that the fifth and final ODI against England on Friday will be his last appearance in India in the abbreviated version of the game.
No doubt Dravid is one of the few players that have the ability to perform well when playing outside the subcontinent. He has a good technique against short deliveries and made a brief return to India in the ODI team in a couple years Champions Trophy 2009 in South Africa, the selectors are a little worried susceptibility India against outstanding short hitters bowling places Juicy South Africa.Even during the current series against England, Dravid, who had not chosen to limit the overlapping cricket for the last two years, was named the team a day to strengthen the line depletion India. Performance Test cricket has not diminished, but his career was not in the ODI rise in the last four years. Since 2008, Dravid scored more runs in 41 of 3,050 test matches, including 11 centuries at an average close to 47. His monumental achievements in the ring test is easy to forget their important contribution to the ODI. In general, Dravid is the second long-getter in tests, after Sachin Tendulkar, with a mammoth 12,775 runs in 157 games, an average of 53.00.Their achievements reflect the fact that form is temporary, class is permanent.
Dravid was an unsung hero of cricket in India. Their contributions have been overshadowed a couple of times, unfortunately, and not, for other fans on the side hitter. Sourav Ganguly and Tendulkar have won numerous awards for the team and in the last 12 years, and at some point, Dravid contributions have been overlooked despite being one of the main pillars of the India batting line-up.His staff is not flashy as Yuvraj Singh and Virender Sehwag as elegant as, but certainly solid technical Dravid proves to be one of the best batsmen of India has produced.
Dravid scored the cover of one year wicket keeper-some years, offering the luxury of a drummer in India, if necessary. For someone who is primarily a test match player who can adjust to the exigencies of the situation in the smaller size. He was top scorer in the 1999 World Cup, scoring two centuries back. Recently, three six consecutive Samit Patel for the sole Twenty-20 international against England during the visit to demonstrate that you can speed up if necessary.
The monk-like concentration is an example for young people in the team. In this era of slam-bang cricket where batsmen sometimes tend to overlook the value of his office, the importance of having a waterproof technique is often underestimated. Harsha Bhogle as noted, "The patient was a childhood friend of Dravid, and has maintained the intensity. Impatience is the hallmark of youth, while Dravid was young in years, who always wore a maturity that contrasts with it. "
The tour continues in England was very difficult for India. As "Mr India" prepares for its reliable ODI in Cardiff swansong, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his men will be hoping to give a dignified farewell Dravid, thus ending the tour otherwise forgettable of England with avictory.
