There was a report that before the final he called up Dhoni and talked with him, Mate. It is not fair to expect these guys to do everything in public (TVs and Newspapers). Many players might just do it in their own quiet way. Dravid was never a media person, nor did he try to expose and sell himself as a brand despite being the best batting performer in the last decade for India. Maybe, sometimes it doesn't hurt if we give allowance that they may have done some good things, but were just not willing to put it in the media.
