The contribution ofDravid to the game of cricket and sportsmanship is unparallell in the history of the recent past.To take one example, the return catch taken by Bhajji against Mumbai XI had Dravid hesitating ( Doubtful catch)only for a second but never questioned. The run which could have been taken against Deccan was not taken because Dravid found his partner comming in the way of the bowler who could have fielded in his own bowling. There are many instances. He could have carried on as cpatain but the generousity shown is unthinkable which had Dhoni , the then VC leadindg India . The prediction of Chappel is now proving correct. With a young team under Dravid India would have faired better in the WC 2007 as Rajasthan with Chappel as Academy coach and Warne as Captain cum Coach had proved.
