The legendary batsman of India Rahul Dravid is having some quality time off the field. The former skipper of Indian National Cricket Team made a visit to the Camp Nou to watch Barcelona winning the game. In the video posted by the Football club, Dravid was seen showering praises on Messi for his exceptional play.
Rahul Dravid has always been a huge fan of Football. He often finds his time to witness matches when he is off from his National Duty. As there is nothing much for him to do with the Indian Premier League, it seems like Dravid would like to spend time by taking the honour.
It’s a huge honour – Rahul Dravid
In fact, Rahul Dravid visited the Camp alongside his family. Speaking after the game, the iconic cricketer quoted that he is honoured to be in the stands and watch players like Messi and Saurez playing on the field. Further, he went on to add saying that he had a great time with his family.
“It’s incredible, it’s a huge honour, it’s one of the things I’ve always wanted to do, come to Camp Nou and watch a football game. To be here and experience the atmosphere, it’s absolutely electric. To be able to watch players like Messi and Suarez play live, it’s fantastic for me and my family,” said Dravid in a video posted on the football team’s social media channels.
On Messi:
Messi has always been the star of the game and always takes the headlines, whenever he is on the field. Meanwhile, Rahul Dravid is no exception, as he too showers words of praise on Messi for his great gameplay.
“He’s an absolute genius. It’s incredible to watch what he does and to watch him live… One thing to see with Messi is how fantastic he is with the ball but it is incredible to see how good he is without the ball and how he is able to find spaces. I don’t think there’s been a better player than him ever. It’s fantastic to watch him live,” Dravid said.
However, it seems like Rahul Dravid had a great time with the team. After the completion of the game, Rahul was honoured by giving him the Jersey of the team. On the work front, Rahul Dravid will coach the youngsters once the Indian Premier League 2019 conclude.
