@Kameenah but why do u think he didnt got enough credit , he cosidered as batsman next to sachin in india among top test batsman what else u want he is medicaore in odi and what he got is enough i guess u want that or may be u want that he will get same credit as sachin which is impossible…
@36pratham Mate i wasn’t saying he was better then sachin but dravid did not get enough credit. He is so under rated, and that’s coming from a Brit Pak.
@majesticmaniac wrong there are many better batsman the above u mentioned… sachin and lara offcourse no doubt best after then its viv richrds , sunil gavaskar, gary sobers,greg chappel then comes dravid… and among kallis dravid and ponting it can be debatable who is best me being indian would go for dravid but ponting ,kallis also come in same league… may be he didnt get bowlers like what pionting but he get better batsman then what ponting got…
I might be slated by some Indians but I always preferred watching Dravid bat compared to Sachin. I don’t no why there is just so much calmness in him like nature lol he defo did not get enough lime light.
i disagree. ponting on many occasions has held on his own. when i think of dravid, i think of him defending his wicket….when i hear ponting, i only think of one thing: Australia, australia, and australia! what a captain and a batsman ponting has been. dravid a good test batsman, but ponting’s record speaks for itself.
Kallis, Dravid, Lara, Tendulkar – Probably the best test batsman of the world in the last 30 years……I wouldnt count ponting in there as he very rarely had to grit it out on his own, he had players like McGrath, Warne, Gilchrist, Hayden, langer playing along side him….He wasnt tested as much as the former players…
check the shot at 1:27 it is the best shot with super style even god of cricket SRT cannot play it though sachin is greatest rahul dravid is also the greatest because they r indian cricketers
The gritty Rahul Dravid… I hope he reinvents himself he still has 2-3 years of test cricket left in him I hope he finishes on the high though he doesn’t have anything to prove to any1 over 10,000 thousand runs in both forms of the game says it all a true legend
@jatpattat gangully is and avg test batsman who has just 2 100s against australia , his 1st 100 came against aus in 2003 that too in absence of mcgrath and warne, and then 2008 lols…. and has never scored a single 100 against SA… ROFL… gangully is just an avg test batsman who just use to score on flat tracks or in good conditions… u just talking crap and nonsense…
@jatpattat lols are u out of ur mind…1st of all gangully and azhar both use to bat after sachin… and i really like to know what azahrudin did in period 1992 to 2000 outside india… he just home track bully who never able to score outside india… he is just avg test batsman who just use to score runs on indian tracks..
and for ur kind information gangully also started in 1996 , pls tell me what gangully did in period of 1996 to 2001 other than his debut series in england….
@jatpattat lols u must be kidding man… dravid came in the team in 1996 and showed his real class.. after 2000.. till then for 10 to 11 years sachin played like lone warrior for the team… and from 2007 also dravid is playing really bad….
@longikongi gettin a bit old, plus arthiritis i think, hes playin the IPL tourney dont think hes got the gas left to play 50 overs any more, i loved him too great and classy bats men, wish he was on this world cup squad hopefully we made him proud
CHAK DE INDIA

@36pratham Viv Richards probably….But the other three mainly played in the 70s….and I said the last 30 yrs…any way dont hold it againt me..

@Kameenah lols doesnt matter many peaple find him very much boring as well he is technically great but sachin is far better then him…..
I might be slated by some Indians but I always preferred watching Dravid bat compared to Sachin. I don’t no why there is just so much calmness in him like nature lol he defo did not get enough lime light.

Gentleman of the game.
I’m Australia and I know there is an intense rivalry between Aus and India but, wow, I love Dravid. So good.
@jumpnjza2 mate dravid wrote the textbook

Greatest cricketer ever for me.. Greater than anyone.. !!
@36pratham you full of shit. dravid and sehwag was the backbone of india batting
@jatpattat gangully is and avg test batsman who has just 2 100s against australia , his 1st 100 came against aus in 2003 that too in absence of mcgrath and warne, and then 2008 lols…. and has never scored a single 100 against SA… ROFL… gangully is just an avg test batsman who just use to score on flat tracks or in good conditions… u just talking crap and nonsense…

@36pratham no, it was ganguly and azharuddin who scored the runs.
@jatpattat lols u must be kidding man… dravid came in the team in 1996 and showed his real class.. after 2000.. till then for 10 to 11 years sachin played like lone warrior for the team… and from 2007 also dravid is playing really bad….
@36pratham its easy scoring runs coming in after dravid because he laid the foundation for the team.
@satishsatishiyer sachin is the best no one can match him…
Just have the feeling that Rohul could match sachin’s test records had he been even more dedicated
Rahul Dravid is the textbook
