Tribute to Rahul Dravid

For the long time i have been thinking of the unthinkable, two greats of our era would  put down their gloves and pass on their baton to the younger generation of cricketers. Suddenly my premonition has come alive when the script was written on "the Wall". Well how do i begin to pour out my feeling for cricket and especially for this man. He is deservedly the most prolific and accomplished cricketer that has ever embraced the game of cricket yet strikingly under rated in the shadow of another great Sachin Tendulkar.
What i like about  Dravid is his steadfast resolve and concentration that had come handy on more than number of occasions for the Indian team especially in overseas. Visibly composed and calm, he built his innings like a watchmaker's precision. Every innings of his symbolizes the near impossible concentration and hard work. In every field, some are supremely gifted like Tendulkar and some achieve greatness by the sheer dedication and fortitude. For me Dravid represents the latter category of individuals.
