dravid ensured that no big hitter from India like Robin Uthappa was selected in Bangalore team. He also kept big hitting mizba sitting in bench for a long time till Mallya took the knife out.
dravid made runs when the opposite team had already won...result - dravid made his average appear decent.
dravid's multiple failures both as a player and as a captain are the reason why RCs end up Royal Losers.
dravid is a shameless guy and is unlikel to listen.
Mallya would do well to take dravid out of Bangalore team as our national selectors have rightly done.

but @ what avg.? 26.4 Yet avg is the funniest thing that will mislead one to a fool. The classic example is Sehwag's avg. in the recent series against SA was over 60 but he failed in the 4 innings out of 5 played yet it mislead one (who merely looks into avg.) to believe he has a great avg.
Despite the misleading thing about avg. Dravid's avg. in the IPL exposes his limitations and proved him to be an unfit and undeserving player.
In any case T20 is all about ENTERTAINMENT that's why tickets are charged exhorbitantly (Rs. 1000 to Rs.12000 per head) and if he is not capable of providing entertainment then he don't deserve to be playing.

Yes you are right Dravid never deserved to play ODI at any time yet he played so many because of politics. Dravid might have had the technique to score qickly as he showed sometimes which came more out of pressure to prove a point about himself rather than for his team, but has very poor attitude.
He had never played for the team and always played for himself
