When Dravid stayed in a dormitory at Vijayawada
The HinduFormer India skipper and Padma Bhushan Rahul Dravid share a special bond with Vijayawada for he played his first away match as an under-15 cricketer representing Karnataka in this bustling commercial city in 1985. Read: Learn to fail well, Dravid tells aspirants “We played the match at Indira Gandhi Municipal Corporation Stadium and we were housed at Dandamudi Rajagopala Rao Indoor Stadium, where I stayed in a dormitory with six to seven boys. Dravid faced a peculiar situation when an English newspaper, while reporting the tournament, mentioned Rahul Dravid as Rahul David forcing him to seek the help of a senior ACA administrator to alert the reporter about the goof up. He skippered the Board President’s XI against Andy Flower-led Zimbabwe and later marshaled the Indian team against Carl Hooper-led West Indies team in an ODI at IGMC stadium in 2002.
