A video showing former Indian cricketer Praveen Amre praising Rahul Dravid for his contributions to the Indian cricket team.
Amre states that Dravid has retired at a perfect time, giving the youngsters opportunity to settle down in the upcominh series in India. He also praises the major contributions by the former Indian captain throughout his cricketing career.
Since his Test debut at Lord's where he announced his arrival with a knock of 95, Dravid went on to establish himself as a premier batsman, respected as much for the 13,000-plus runs he scored, as the technical excellence with which he countered World's best bowlers.
However, it was his focus and determination while putting a price on his wicket that separated Dravid from the rest. His batting embodied elan and elegance that also reflected in his persona. Stylish yet sober, Dravid often admitted that he was not the most “attractive” of batsmen to watch, though on occasions, the flamboyance surfaced, stunning his critics into silence.
