"Watching him around the dressing room is an education in itself. His work ethic is an example for all of us." - Yuvraj Singh.

"If you can't get along with Rahul Dravid, you are struggling in life." - Brett Lee.

"Batting with Rahul is always a pleasure. He just takes away all the pressure off you, and allows you to play your natural game." - Virender Sehwag.

"Dravid could play attacking cricket
like me, but I could never play like
him." - Chris Gayle.

Brian Lara - "If I have to put anyone to bat for my life, it’ll be Rahul Dravid."

"Rahul Dravid is a player who would walk on broken glass if his team asks him to." - Navjot Singh Sidhu.

"There is, and will always be, only one Rahul Dravid." - Sachin Tendulkar.

A 15 year old illustrious career ends today..
