Rahul Dravid delivered the Dilip Sardesai memorial lecture 2014 in Mumbai on Friday. Dravid spoke at length about his experiences playing international cricket over the years.

“The two innings that gave me the most satisfaction was scoring two fifties against West Indies at Jamaica in 2006. The series was tied and I felt pressured. To go and bat on such a terrible wicket, you know that this match won’t last for three days. I did score that double ton at Adelaide but these two fifties gave me a lot of satisfaction.”, he said.
