http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Dravid-c2229 took the right decision to retire, says Sunil Joshi - Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sunil-Joshi-c91853, the former Indian spinner, has backed the veteran Indian opener, Rahul Dravid’s decision to retire from limited-over formats of the game as he thinks that the batsman has not been given due respect and credit in his long career.
Joshi expressed these thoughts in his column for the Mid Day, an Indian daily.
The former cricketer, who also rubbed shoulders with Dravid, argues that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rahul-c83321 has always been struggling to prove his mettle in ODI cricket despite the fact that he is as successful in this format as he is in Test.
The ex-spinner reveals that Dravid was India’s crucial asset in the 1999 edition of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Cricket World Cup and most of the team's successes between 2002 and 2005 were credited to the dashing batsman.
Joshi strongly believes that Dravid has done to his utmost both as a batsman and a wicketkeeper and has not left any stone unturned to expose his inherent cricketing capabilities.
He tells that Rahul is as fresh and fit yet as he was in the beginning of his International career and still hits the ball with passion and power.

Dravid, the 38-year-old right-handed batsman, is going to play the last ODI of his 15-year long career on September 16 at Cardiff against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013. It will be his 344th game. With the help of 12 centuries and 82 fifties, the batsman possesses 10820
runs in this format.
Returning to his national team for this series after a gap of almost two years, Dravid performed tremendously but, unfortunately, could not steer the Men in Blue to taste even a single victory against the English.
'The Wall', who poses to be the third highest scorer in Test cricket, earned the title of ‘Man of the Series’ after scoring three tons in the recently-concluded npower Test event.
Before the start of his last 5-match ODI series, Dravid had announced his retirement from the format.
