Rahul Dravid set to retire - Page 2

He has been a fine ornament to the game. I don't think I've ever heard a bad word said against him, and that is most unusual. Actually I have heard Indian fans complain about him at times but he is respected pretty well universally. Good luck to him in his future endeavours. I salute you Sir Dravid.

A class act on and off the pitch, he will be remembered. I feel Kohli will eventually fill the void as his test game starts to become as good as his shorter ones.

Khoda Hafez Rahul, guys like you make us love the game.

RESPECT! Wadda player. I think he made the right decision by walking away in his own term. I'm sure if he wanted to, BCCI would have gave him one last home test match but I'm glad he didn't. Just goes to show you how unselfish he is.

Dravid - the wall will be always remembered by Cricket fans. Sachin is a great legend, but he should also follow Dravid's footsteps. It's not because he's out of form, but he has played for long and have broken almost all the records possible for any other batsman.

A grand salaam to a great athlete, batsman, captain and a leader Rahul Dravid!

It will be very exciting to watch Kohli and others develop.

Unforgettable cricket gentleman, just born in wrong era to be on limelight. I wish Dravid will be interested in BC development in near future, and offcourse can enlight BPL.

^ You can count on Kohli to perform all around the world. He has the technique and the guts to step up. Forget about those other overrated chubby flat track bullies.

Dravid is the perfect blue print for all subcontinent batsmen to succeed in TEST CRICKET.

Along with that bat he gifted to tamim (2007 world cup , after the bd-ind game) he should have given him a book/lecture on 'controlling one's attitude' . Might have helped tamim a bit.
