Unwanted honking not only irritates others, but may also end up causing accidents. Drivers lose cool and it may result in road rage. Rahul Dravid Read Quote
Even though it’s a shortened format of the game, Twenty20 allows people with different skills to play in a team and play their specific roles. Obviously there’s not too much time to waste balls, but if you look at guys who play well in the top six, they have a fairly decent amount of good cricketing ability. Rahul Dravid Read Quote
I think there’s a culture in Rajasthan Royals that has been there before I got here, so I’ve come into it. I’ve enjoyed being part of it and embraced it. They are quite clear about the fact that bottom lines are important, and there is a certain limit on what you can spend. Rahul Dravid Read Quote
Administrators are there because of the fans and the cricketers to run this game, so credibility of a game, or a board, or even a government for that matter, is important irrespective of what you do. If you are in public life, it is important. Rahul Dravid Read Quote
Apart from being celebrities, there’s a huge amount of respect associated with being cricketers and a certain amount of reverence and honour associated with representing India.

I was in the hockey team in school, played football. One of the challenges for me was to make the team feel better. It helped me evolve, so batting at different positions was never a problem. Rahul Dravid Read Quote
Growing up, in my under-15 days I used to be a wicketkeeper, and that carried on till I was 17. Then I started focusing on my batting and moved on. I got into the Ranji team quite early, and generally, as a youngster, the first place you are put in is at bat-pad and short leg, so you had to work on your close-in fielding straightaway.

There is no substitute to taking a lot of a catches as a youngster if you want to do slip catching – you’ve got to catch, catch, catch. And more than doing the normal stuff, you have to vary your catching – you’ve got to take some catches with the tennis ball, you got to take some closer, some further away. Rahul Dravid Read Quote
