he was 25 or 26 yrs old then....and look at the amount of maturity he had even at that age....salute!!

Exactly! Inspiration for every generation to come.

[@prasenjeetmahato5229]

many handsome faces will come and go in indian cricket but nobody will be as handsome as smart and charismatic all together except when you are Mr. Rahul Dravid.

[@sreehari1225]

Indian cricket may find a batsman as capable as Dravid, but to find a man as exceptional is likely impossible..........!!

[@darthvader8892]

Indian cricket won't find a man or a player like Dravid ever.

nope, sorry Rahul but adulation to you was not a phase... you are still revered and respected in many a heart. Stay the same sir ! :)

So much clarity and maturity at such a young age. Rahul Dravid is arguably the best representative of the sport. Respect for the legend.

[@nehabelwal8075]

Most handsome crickter in the world.

[@fanofyoubulb]

Some of the thoughts by dravid are life inspiring , he is not just a great cricketer, a great human being too. I feel proud witnessing dravidian era, feel lucky to have followed such a person's career very closely. Todays Indian cricketers need to watch this before they over react and act childish.

[@DrThritia]

Very well said

[@keshavkaushik21]

Rahul dravid made his debut in 1996 & by 1999 he was called a wall. Respect

[@Chinbha]

9:04 : Its originally a quote of Eric Contana, who said "United is life, rest are mere details."

[@rahuladdala]

he can articulate things really well. great ambassador for the game.

[@aapudas4211]

dravid looks too cute

[@prakashraj7112]

Dravid batted with Surgical precision and put a price on his wicket always. A strong technique, temperament, agility and assessing the situation is exceptional. He is a living legend and a Cricketer that youngsters can emulate.

[@fantomraja9137]

looking at the cricketer interviews now, has the world devolved? this interview is awesome and he is soo educated.

[@riteshsingh240]

Dravid ka pura career ek seekh hai... Sirf Cricketers k liye hi nhi har insaan k liye jinko lgta hai stardom, aur humbleness ek insaan me sath nhi reh skti 🙏

[@siddharthmenath]

An honorable man and an exceptional batsman. This man went on to bat the most in test match cricket.

[@Abhishek-gr7rp]

Most handsome.. Most stylish and yet the most down to earth person. I will thank to God all my life if he makes me even 0.01℅ of him

very good interview, I liked Rahul Dravid's replies, so calm, collected and comfortable with a great level of understanding.

[@sarkarinaukar9658]

Dravid made me watch all those pre match and post match shows with as much importance as the actual match, just to listen to him speak makes me so happy ❤️ he is more than just a cricketer, you can't help yourself from falling in love with his personality as much as his cricket ❤️

[@sayantandas9958]

Averaging 53 in batting after 166 test matches. One of the Greatests of all time ....

[@An_Indian.]

I would be extremely grateful to God if I could ever become even 0.01% of Dravid sir. He is a true inspiration, not only as a cricketer, but also as a human being. We need more people like him, so, I'll try my best to be one.

Legend is always a legend. Proud of you Dravid...

[@suniltambe861]

Much the same well mannered perfectionist when speaking as while batting. In school I learnt that besides enertainment anf physical excercise Sport helps one to build character. I understood this by following RD's cricket. RD is a role model not just for budding cricketers , Not just all the budding sportsperson RD is a role model for the entire youth !

[@pratulgupta5188]

Sachin Yuvraj Ganguly Shewag & Bhajji Ganged up in 2007 world cup and fought EGO war with Guru Greg, as a result team performed very badly under Dravid. Ego won/Ego Lost, India LOST. Dravid 'wept' that's one of the most unforgettable moment in cricket history to every Indian. Dravid, the best player, best captain and true gentleman cricketer.

[@kp4714]

It wasn't a ego war..Team was like a family under Ganguly's captaincy. Greg Chappel came and created differences and misunderstanding. Anyone will fight against this evil. I respect Dravid but Ganguly isn't wrong. He stood for what's right and fought against wrong even if it was a lone battle.

Why there is a assumption from people that the ones who delve themselves into cricket or any forms of sports is making a sacrifice by not enjoying movies etc...I couldn't become any kind of accomplished player...but I always had this great love for sports....At that time I remember...not sleeping entire night for school level matches....And to be honest I never missed anything in the world when got to play cricket or any sort of sports.......The thing is ones who didn't love sports how would they understand and such kinds questions are only expected.......
