Rahul has awesome talent and he could have done a lot more if he let himself go. As a captain - he could not motivate and had to resign in disgrace without anyone shedding a tear. The qualities this guy Rohan so happily talks about are the ones that have kept him back from achieving his true potential. I think Rahul was wise enough to realise that interaction with external world saps his energy - as a personality is an introverted type who gets tired in interacting with people he does not know. Hence dependency on authority figures like mom , dad , wife and coach which make him seem spineless.
