The Wall


Today’s match would be the last ODI for Dravid….. Most of the followers of cricket loved to hate this guy but he went on to score more than 10K runs in ODIs.

Undoubtedly, His one the most remarkable ODI inning for me is against Pakistan in 2003 world cup. After Tendulkar got out, we still needed 100 more runs, Yuvi and Dravid made sure India’s win in that amazing match. That victory is second only to 2011 World cup victory for me.

Though it was never easy to watch him score runs, I never lost hope until he is on crease.

He wasn’t in team for last 2 years, to say the truth, India didn’t feel like missing him even for one match but the fact is others (his replacements) also failed to fill in his shoes.
