batsman. He was born on January 11, 1973 in Indore. Dravid, who started
his cricket at 12, grew up playing in the streets of Bangalore. Cricket
was in Dravid’s family. His father played the game and his uncle, K.V.
Dravid, played for the Holkars. His school, st. Joseph’s had a good
team and Dravid did well in the junior tournaments to merit selection
in the State under-15, under-17 and under-19 tournaments. In the home
under-19 series against New Zealand, Dravid led India and did well with
the bat with a century in the Test at Bombay and fifties in two
one-day matches. His Ranji season in 1992 also was profitable. He began
with a 126 against Goa and followed it with a 128 against Kerala in
the next match. Dravid has been fortunate to have someone like G.R.
Vishvanath to help him. In 1996 in England he almost alone of the
younger Indian batsman, proved to have the technique to cope with
conditions that aided seam and swing.
Rahul has been one of the pillars of the Indian
batting with his blend of technical proficiency and stylish strokes. His
good and innocent looks make him very popular among the girls. Ever
since he burst upon the scene at Lord’s in 1996. In a side bristling
with dashing batsman, he has frequently played the sheet anchor role to
perfection. He has had a could hanging over his head for years. A
criticism that he cannot play fast enough in the shorter version of the
game has been wiped off. Through sheer practice, innovative strokes and
imaginative placing of the ball, he has transformed himself into an
integral part of the team. He has shown the world that he is as
effective in the shorter version as in Test cricket. Recognition is long
due for this great cricketer.
