If there is one cricketer who could play cricketing strokes according to the book even when the situation warrants an ugly heave over the cow corner, it could be none other than Rahul Dravid. To play straight bat even in the slog overs is something not everyone can do, not just playing strokes as prescribed in the books, he also scored runs playing it the right way. Though he has not been a regular in the blue pajamas in the recent times, he has always been an amazing player in the one day arena as well. His calm and composed presence in the middle has saved many ODIs for India. He will be thoroughly missed for his slow and steady accumulation of runs and also for the calming influence he brings to the game through his presence. Hopefully the ODI tomorrow is a perfect farwell for him. One Day cricket will definitely miss Rahul Dravid!
