I dont think Dravid is too gentle and all theory. He was very active when Sachin/Sourav were sidelined through politics by Dravid/Chappell partnership. Now he got his own medicine back. He was a backboneless captain and dont the capacity to withdraw pressure from media/public unlike other captains in the world or his predecessor. Dravid is not a captaincy material at any given day.
