Former Cricketers Place Dravid Among All-Time Best

Former players hailed Rahul Dravid, who today retired from international as well as domestic cricket, as among the very best produced by India and said his contribution to Indian cricket has been huge.

“Rahul was like the Great Wall of China for the Indian team and it cannot be created again,” said former captain Ajit Wadekar in admiration of the man who had occupied the No.3 spot in Tests with aplomb for a decade and a half.

“He was an absolutely complete cricketer with tremendous concentration and dedication. In technique, the man who came closest was Sanjay Manjrekar,” said Wadekar about the player who scored over 24,000 runs in Tests and ODIs combined.
