Called as the “Wall”, Rahul Dravid had ticked all the boxes for receiving the Rajiv Khel Ratna award but why he has not been honoured with that, itches many. He has been conferred with numerous other prestigious awards like Arjuna Award [1998], Padma Shri [2004] and Padma Bhushan in 2013

Rahul Dravid was not a born cricketer. He vigorously worked on his skills to get on the top. His thirst for learning never died, which made him the greatest cricketer of India.

The flamboyant cricketer has 10,000+ runs in both Tests and ODIs which prove that what was his contribution to Team India. Whenever other cricketers lost their wickets, he came as hope and took the game forward, that is why he is called the “wall”.
