THE WALL Stands TALL

-

Many women don't watch Cricket and I'm one such but I love being my country win. When I was a little girl,  I run home from my play when India is in their last runs, to eagerly hope and cheer for India to win. It will have some 50 runs to win and Rahul Dravid hits some balls and India wins. From that day on I like this guy in Cricket, I'll jump over and shout that Rahul Dravid made India win. 



My brother will tell me that everyone has already played and scored, I'll answer jumping but his ball made India win. :) may be silly but he was such a dedicated player in whom's face you can notice the pride and sincerity and responsibility to make his team win. 

 




He is nice man, he don't shouts, don't act aggressive in field which most player do when they are excited.



May not be he scores many 6es to make the audience roar in joy but sure he doesn't lose his wicket and is the one who raises India's score to win.


I wanted to say what Shane Watson told about him..
"He's probably the nicest guy -- no, he is the nicest guy -- that I've met in cricket. He's a phenomenal man."


He deserves a better farewell that could remain in his memories as a sign of honoring him and showing our gratitude for all the beyond money efforts he yielded.



From a personal perspective, Rahul is one of the best men I've ever worked with... he's not only a great cricketer, but a great man.

"There was and is only one Rahul Dravid. There can be no other. I will miss Rahul in the dressing-room and out in the middle.

— Sachin Tendulkar

Rahul Dravid - legend! Plain & simple. Congrats on an incredible career! India will miss The Wall.

— Former England captain Kevin Pietersen
Rahul Dravid is one of the all-time greats of the game. One of the top 5 batters I played against. Lara, Sachin, Ponting, Kallis the other four.

— Former England captain Alec Steward
Once Dravid was set, you needed the bowling equivalent of a dozen cannon firing all at once to blast him down" 

- Australian spin legend Shane Warne in his book "Shane Warne's Century."
Some succeed because they are destined to, but Rahul Dravid succeeded because he was DETERMINED to."

— Former India opener Navjot Singh Sidhu on Twitter
Rahul Dravid reflects an india that is honourable, ethical. hardworking and thoughtful. (And, he was a genius). Thank you, Rahul. Thank you.

— Rahul Bose, actor and Indian rugby player
The world's most respected cricketer over the last 20 years. 

— Michael Vaughan, former England captain
All of us have been proud and privileged to see one of the finest cricketers India has ever produced. Not only is he a great player, he is a great role model.
"He has been a great ambassador for the sport, the Indian team and India. He is the kind of person who cannot be matched. He is actually irreplaceable.

— BCCI president N Srinivasan
I have got the privilege to play with him. A legend and the wall for the team. Inspiration for everybody. Thanks for all the support Rahul Bhai

— Umesh Yadav on Twitter
Congrats on a Fantastic, Superb International Career! The Great Legend Rahul Dravid !!The wall will be missed!!

-         Chris Gayle
He was totally a class act, on and off the field. A terrific role model for youngsters with his work ethic, with the way he carried himself, with the way he applied himself.
"It's going to be a bit of a void in Indian cricket now. I think you really won't find anybody playing with the same tactical virtuosity that you saw with Rahul Dravid.

-         Sunil Gavaskar
I've enjoyed every moment that I've played with you. It's been a great honour. Rare are those individuals that hold the unique combination of exceptional talent and commitment.
"His ability to concentrate for long hours remains unmatched. He is someone who is constantly in search of perfection.
"You are a perfect ambassador for cricket and an ideal team man.

-         Anil Kumble
Rahul Dravid - Knew the man behind the bat. Not often do you find a person as exceptional as his achievements

அன்பை அள்ளி கொடுத்தேன் தூக்கி போட்டார்கள் உடைந்தேன் நொறுங்கினேன் நலம் விசாரிப்போர் யாரும் இல்லை குழம்பினேன் அன்பாய் இருப்பதா இல்லை வெறுத்து ஒதுங்குவதா என்று இறுதியில் முடிவெடுத்தேன் நான் செய்யும் முட்டாள் தனத்தில் இதுவும் ஒன்றாக இருந்துவிட்டு போகட்டுமே என்று.
