somebody said Dravid is half-maharashtrian (mom) and half-tamil (Dad). Read Vedam Jaishankar's biography of Dravid. Dravid's paternal grandfather was from a place called Tanjore. A fact is Tajore king was Bhosale a Maharashtrian step brother of sivaji since then lots of Maharashtrians even Brahmins are settled there,
his father Shahaji had Bengluru tumkur area under his helm. He died near Chikmaglur while hunting in an accident. Even Sivaji son was Rajaram was kept in Ginjee fort in Tamilnadu when he was in teens. Aurangzeb was there in Maharashtra to conquer Maratha kingdom for 27 years died there but could not win. The Maratha Genarals kept Prince there for brief period as Mughal's had habit of catching the prince and asking ransom. Generals did not wanted duel responsibility during that period. Generals fought the war against mighty Mughal buried him in Maharashtra reinstated the king Rajaram and went on to conquer Delhi a Mughal kingdom.
In short dont fight over Captaincy a win for team is important with Captain or even without....
