RAHUL DRAVID
The “WALL” of Indian cricket who used to be criticized by the fans for his slow batting in limited overs game proved everybody wrong by his ultimate T20 class in IPL. He showed that if you have class and ability you can succeed in any format. Dravid led his team Rajasthan Royals very impressively in IPL 2013 not only with his aggressive captaincy but also with with bat; forging superb opening partnerships with Ajinkya Rahane. The team played superb cricket right through. But pity that players like S Sreesanth, Ankeet Chavan, Ajit Chandila with their spot-fixing involvement took the sheen out of the Royals spirited showing. A team which critics thought deserved to go all the way. Rahul Dravid will now be working as a mentor for RR.
