TRIBUTE TO THE WALL



TRIBUTE TO THE WALL

It really feels sad and agonized.But the time has come for the time to move on RAHUL DRAVID Take a bow.


It all started in 1996 after the worldcup debacle.Kambli's performance there was a replacement needed and guess what who the selectors choose RAhul Dravid a gem of a person and gentleman which cricketing history has ever seen. The technically correct batsmen shots from the book. I still remember i was 12 year old when i saw the WALL coming to bat with WILLS bat in his hand. I saw him playing and i am greatful to see this guy batting and became a great fan of WALL. Later on he was dropped from ODI side which hurt me bad. But that WALL tried harder and again made sure that he is picked for ODI side.

How can i forget his first ODI against pakistan in Independence cup where all the batsmen struggled in walks Rahul dravid plays a gem of innings how can i forget his ondrive to Aaqib Javed..Unfortunately India ended in losing side.But India have rocksolid middle order batsmen.Later on When India toured SouthAfrica which was called as Safari series then in Star Sports under the dynamic captain Md Azhar.SA had good bowling line up the likes of Pollock,Fine de Villers,Donald.Dravid gets his first test century making bowlers life miserable till date.

Dravid made sure that winning Outside INdia is possible if we perform well.Later when standard bank series He hit six to donald in rain curtailed match which was treat to watch.

Having said lot of this Gentleman year by year he went strong and make bowlers life miserable and Captian agonized.
The man who was technically Correct.Those beauty on drives and Square cuts and coverdrive was the trademark for this Gentleman.

Whenever in toruble this man would rise to the occasion bring India out it.

The more i see him the more respect he builds upon. Still remember that poster which i got it from those time sportstar Magazine and i guess what i got RAHUL Dravid poster which i posted @ my room on the "WALL" who would ever imagined he wud have be nick named THE WALL.

Cricket is gentleman's game and Dravid proves it by keeping it simple in on and of the field.

Its hard to belive that he is retiring.

Some more facts only batsmen to make debut on T20 and end it on the same day by hitting 3 sixes in row.

Dravid to me one Gentleman i personally die hard core fan of this guy.

Talking abt supermacy,Legacy and not to forget Longevity which makes him MR humble superman down to earth guy a perfect Gentleman.

Thanks Rahul Dravid I was happy to see you for past 17 years in my life time and i wud say i was previliged wathcing you play and thanks god giving me such a wonderful life where i saw Legends Hope his Legacy will continue of the Field!!

You will never retire in Our hearts.WALL when retires it turns out to be monument!!!
