| Can India make special farewell for Rahul Dravid |
Is Indian skipper MS Dhoni and team has any plans for Rahul Dravid, who will end his ODI career after the final one-day against England here on Friday. Dhoni gestures in 2008, when former captains Sourav Ganguly and Anil Kumble walked away. The gestures include Ganguly leading the side briefly against Australia in the final Test in Nagpur, while Kumble was carried on his broad shoulders. He also made sure that India's greatest wicket-taker was there at the podium to receive the trophy after they won the series 2-0.
Although Indian team has nothing to cheer about England tour, ODI’s took worse possible shape for India coming off from their 4-0 Tests. Rahul Dravid batted brilliantly well in Tests scoring 3 - 100’s but failed to take his form into ODI’s, Rahul played 343 one-day internationals overall with an average of 39.06 and scored 10820 which includes 12 – 100’s and 82 – 50’s.
Rahul Dravid is the second highest scorer ever in Test cricket but he is at seventh place in one-dayers. All the three Indian greats of present era like Sourav Ganguly, Anil Kumble have ended their career on winning note and goodbye with a great gesture of Dhoni. Sachin too got his dream fulfilled by winning World Cup 2011 and now its turn of the ‘The Wall’ will Dhoni and Team India make Rahul last outing a memorable one.
