Actor Siddharth, who plays the character of Arjun, a cricketer representing the country in director Sashikanth’s upcoming film ‘Test’, says that if there was one person he had to pick to dedicate all that he had done in this film as a test cricketer, it would be Rahul Dravid.
Dravid expressed his satisfaction at the composition of the new-look Rajasthan Royals side, saying that the likes of Riyan Parag could be younger by age but has rich experience of playing in excess of 50 games in the cash-rich league.
Former teammate Harbhajan also had a special message for 'The Wall', calling him an "epitome of discipline and commitment".
According to reliable sources close to the development, the talks between Dravid and the franchise have reached the final stages, and it is only a matter of time when The Wall returns to Rajasthan Royals ahead of the mega IPL auction.
"I cannot say in one line what Rahul bhai means to me. He has always been an inspiration, and will remain one," Pujara said.
VVS Laxman spoke about the importance of Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid partnership in the administration of Indian cricket.
While Tendulkar's numbers are better, Dravid seems to be a fan favourite for bailing India out of difficult situations especially in overseas conditions.
While Sourav Ganguly went on to score a 100, Rahul Dravid was not so lucky and got out just 5 runs short of the landmark in his debut Test at Lord's in 1996.
Ganguly however said that he was elated to watch the Indian team under MS Dhoni, which consisted of a number of players he played with, lift the 2011 World Cup.
