“Imagine a manager of a rival team and a cricket wall, Sir Rahul Dravid comes to greet you and your friends. That day I learned a lesson ‘Humility is the key to success’ #RahulDravid,” he added in his tweet.
Dravid is the only actor to be involved in two partnerships with over 300 ODIs. He played 164 Tests, 344 ODIs and a T20I for India. The batsman finally announced his retirement from international cricket in March 2012. He ended his career with 48 international centuries. Dravid took over the role of head coach of Team India in November 2021.
