A story written by the willow...

As it is being said, the great wall of china can be seen even from the moon.I doubt weather the proud Indians would very much stick on to that. The reason, on the other side may seem completely winding in another direction. We Indians have seen a greater wall for the last 16 years. the legendary RAHUL DRAVID. A down to earth miracle, who has earned his own place among the all time greats of the game and undoubtedly, the best test player India has ever had. "No dream is ever chased alone" was his words for all those who supported him throughout his story of success. More than 10,000 runs in both forms of the game explains the story by itself..Also the main man behind India's famous overseas win at Adelaide, Rawalpindi and the Carribean....
           A true legend....My all time favorite Mr. Consistent.


feel like sharing some words said about Rahul Dravid....


There was and is only one Rahul Dravid. There can be no other. I will miss Rahul in the dressing room and out in the middle.
- Sachin Tendulkar

Dravid is obviously one of India's greatest batsmen - great in all conditions - and one who scored runs runs everywhere. From a personal perspective, Rahul is one of the best men I've ever worked with... he's not only a great cricketer, but a great man.
- John Wright

He's probably the nicest guy - no, he is the nicest guy - that I've met in cricket. He's a phenomenal man. He loves the game with so much passion, it's in his blood and in his heart.
- Shane Watson

He was the guy youngsters in the dressing room looked up to. Sachin would always be the guy who inspired awe. But a lot of players knew Sachin was something special, while they could all be Rahul Dravid. Rahul was one of them, working hard - there really is going to be a big void in Indian cricket now.
- Sunil Gavaskar

He was a totally selfless cricketer. He has been very helpful and never said no to anyone and always gave his best.
- Bapu Nadkarni

It's a bold decision. He probably doesn't feel he has no cricket left. He is making way for the youngsters, which is amazing. It's sort of an example for many others.
- Anshuman Gaekwad

There cannot be another Rahul Dravid. He is a legend. As a youngster, I learnt a lot from him. Bowling to him, talking to him, sharing the dressing room...anything cannot be better than that. I personally feel there cannot be another Rahul Dravid.
- Pragyan Ojha
