'Rahul bhai told me, 'I picked you despite not knowing your age'. That's his greatness': Veteran IPL bowler hails Dravid

Hindustan Times  

In Indian cricket, you will hardly find an individual who is more respected than Rahul Dravid. A complete team-man during his playing days ready to whatever role his team or captain would ask him to, Dravid continued to win hearts even after retiring from the game. Finally last year, Dravid took over from Ravi Shastri as India’s head coach, and barring the South Africa blip, has fared rather well in his short tenure so far. Dravid retired with Rajasthan Royals after which he took over as the side's mentor and unearthed some gems, one of which is Pravin Tambe, the leg-spinner who made his IPL debut at the age of 41. Tambe, who picked up a hat-trick and whose biopic is about to release soon, narrated an incident highlighting Dravid's greatness.
