Sachin Tendulkar, the Indian batting maestro, has hailed the way his teammate, Rahul Dravid, has been serving the game and the team since one and a half decade, saying that he is a precious asset of the team and his departure will be an irreparable damage
for the Indians.
Dravid, who is going to play the 344th and last ODI of his career today at Cardiff against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sourav-Chandidas-Ganguly-c90746.
Each of the three big names has weighed Dravid’s services and skills in a fair way but the God of Cricket has termed him as the best man at the right place.
In his interview with an Indian newspaper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607 said, “He has had a fabulous career as a one-day player and has contributed so much to Indian cricket. I have no doubt that he is and will continue to be a role model for all of us."
He further told, “He is the perfect team man; when he was asked to keep wickets we all knew that he will do well because he was initially a wicketkeeper. It later helped him, and came as a big help to all of us in the Indian team during the 2003 World Cup."
Tendulkar has also appreciated Dravid’s exceptional capabilities of scoring lavishly and building up long innings, which he thinks, have contributed well to Team India’s successes in both the longer and shorter formats of the game over the last decade.
Making his comeback into the team for the ongoing tour after a gap of almost two years, Dravid played excellently in the 4-match npower series and announced to conclude his limited-overs career after featuring in the five ODIs. After losing both the series,
the Men in Blue are to play today’s game just for pride and providing a fitting farewell to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rahul-c83321.
The 38-year-old right-handed batsman has played 343 ODI games and scored 10820 runs with the help of 12 centuries and 82 fifties since making his International debut in 1996.
