Rahul Dravid
If China has the greatest wall, India has the strongest wall in the form of Rahul Dravid. Mr Dependable Dravid is widely regarded as one of the greatest cricketers of all time. His solid technique, complete concentration, and classic touch were unmatchable during his era. He has more than 13,000 runs in Test cricket and around 11000 runs in ODIs. The former number 3 Indian batsman was also known as ‘The Wall’ as he had a habit of giving his best performance when others failed to do so. Have a look at some of the best quotes on the Indian batting maestro:
Every cricket fan is cognizant of Australian players’ aggression including one of the greats like Matthew Hayden. He was so deeply impressed with Dravid that once he said, “All these things going around is not called aggression. If you really want to see aggression, look into Dravid’s eyes.”
Rawalpindi Express Shoaib Akhtar had accepted that Sachin Tendulkar hit him on several occasions which he cannot forget but when it comes to solidity, he stood by Rahul Dravid. He said, “Even though Sachin is great, I have always found Rahul more solid and hard to get out. He has a solid defense and plays fewer shots than others.”
Everyone’s favourite Harsha Bhogle too is a big fan of Rahul Dravid. He said, “When I am done with my profession, I wish I could go with the reputation that Rahul Dravid earned.”
