A tribute to Rahul Dravid
I had a doubt in past as who is the best in test, though Sachin had an edge in the past, after the recently concluded test series in West Indies which India won 1 - 0, I have to reconsider my thoughts. Surely Rahul Dravid is out of world. Have you seen a captain who has the temparament as Rahul Dravid. Take the case of the recently concluded 4th test. Rahul came to the crease very early in the first innings, helped the team with a fighting 81, batting almost throughout the day, leading the side from the front when India bowled, then came to the crease early in the second innings too, batted throughout the day, got out finally, then led his side to victory.
After India almost came close to victory in the first two tests and not finishing it, it's easy for any captain to lose cool and throw the bat away on anything. But his persistance and frustrating the bowlers is his great weapon. Finally concluding, there can be Ricky Pontings, Sachin Tendulkars, Brain Laras, Sehwags, Gilchrists, Haydens, but there can ONLY be ONE man like my favorite hero the WALL - Rahul Dravid.
