The young Indian batsman, Ajinkya Rahane, has said that Rahul Dravid is his cricketing hero and he learnt quite a lot from him while playing for Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Rahane said that he has been watching Rahul Dravid bat since his childhood and it was a wonderful experience to play alongside him in the IPL. As per Rahane, besides being a great cricketer, Rahul is an open hearted individual as well. He always helps the young cricketers and gives them valuable tips.

Rahane opened for Rajasthan Royals along with Dravid in the IPL this year. Rahane performed brilliantly in the tournament. He played 16 matches for Rajasthan Royals and scored 560 runs at an average of 40. He also scored a century against the Royal Challangers Bangalore. He said that in the previous IPL seasons, He didn’t get a chance to bat up the order, but, this time around Rahul Dravid asked him to open the innings. As per Rahane, he loves to bat up the order especially in the shorter formats of the game.

Rahane had gone to Australia with the Indian test team last year, but, he didn’t get an opportunity to play in a test match there. But, after the retirement of Rahul Dravid, it has been speculated that Rahane might get a chance to bat at no. 3 in the upcoming test series against New Zealand. However, he would have to face a tough competition from Rohit Sharma for that no. 3 spot. On being asked about that, Rahane said that it is up to the selectors to decide who will bat at no. 3. As per Rahane, he wants to play test match cricket for India and if he would get a chance in the upcoming series, he would try to cement his place in the team.

When Rahul Dravid was playing for Team India, he hardly used to laugh. He was considered as an extremely serious guy who concentrates very hard on his game. He was rarely seen laughing or cracking jokes and having fun with the team mates. Even during the interviews in his playing days, he used to answer the questions with extreme seriousness. But, now, after the retirement, he seems to be a different guy altogether. He could be seen laughing during the interviews these days. He looks quite refreshed and doesn’t look so much tensed as he used to do in his playing days.

Recently, in an interview, when Rahul Dravid was asked whether he would like to be the coach of Team India in the future, he didn’t deny that. He said that he might come in the profession of coaching, but not now. He said that he has not yet decided about his future. But, he said that he would definitely be attached with cricket in some form. Talking about the former India coach Gregg Chappell, Dravid said that the captain has to decide about the composition of the team and not the coach. A coach can only give advice and that’s what Chappell used to do. Dravid said that Chappell had never forced him for anything.

Meanwhile, the Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) has nominated the name of Rahul Dravid for the prestigious Khel Ratna award. The CAO of BCCI, Professor Ratnakar Shetty has given this information to the media. Rahul Dravid is one of the greatest players who have ever played for India. He made more than 10,000 runs in both the tests and One Day Internationals. With the kind of record that he has, Rahul Dravid certainly deserves this prestigious Khel Ratna Award.
