'As important as Tendulkar': Waugh on Dravid

From Kolkata to Adelaide and beyond, Steve Waugh remembers India's Rahul Dravid, who terrorised Australia during his impressive career

[@vineethgodsowncountry9753]

Sachin once said, "Dravid is a perfect role model for youngsters.He has set a great example for all of us to follow.We are all trying to follow that path"...☑️🏏☑️

@Richard Madden don't discredit someone like this. Think before you speak. Everyone has good and bad tours. He did amazingly well in England, where the whole world struggles.

He played two roles simultaneously in the Indian Test team during most of his career: one as an opener and one as a no.3 batsman. Those two positions are the toughest in Test cricket. This feat is still unmatched! The way he improved himself and made the selectors pick him for the Indian ODI squad is textbook stuff. And then he scored more than 10000 runs in the ODIs, too! Yes, Steve is right here. He was as important as Tendulkar.
