Over number 127. India needs 140 runs to avoid follow on.Shoib akhtar on his 35th over of the innings .Its absolutely hot here in National stadium, Karachi.The Rawalpindi express started his engine from University end with sweats dropping from his forehead.He is streaming in to bowl to a player who is standing there like a mountain against Pakistan's hopes.Yet again he is there fighting like a warrior keeping India's hopes alive.Akhtar just released his agony in the form of a delivery @140km/hr.The ball hits the deck and reaches the area just outside to the stumps.And Rahul Dravid made a beautiful well left in style.Hope I too leave Problems that are streaming against me in life like him in style.
"Rahul Dravid is a person who will walk on broken glass when team asks him to do"-Sidhu,which is indeed a true quote.
When team needs him to come as a opener he padded up and came in front.
When team needs him to keep the wickets,he without hesitating took the gloves in his hands and stood for days.
When team needs him to stand him like a brick in front of stumps to manage a draw he stood without loosing his patience.
When team needs him to captain the side to stabilize it,he took the responsibility immediately without argument.
And Finally when the team needs him to mentor the youngsters to brighten the future of India he immediately took charge as a coach of U-19 team.
This is just a drop from ocean of sacrifices he made to save the team from drought.
He's the hero Indian Team deserves.We will hunt him to face many sacrifices.Because he can take it.Because he is not our hero.He is a silent guardian.A watchful protector.
"A dark knight".
We confused Indians,wish "The great wall of India" who is Born to get no honours,an underrated Indian legend,"Rahul Dravid" a very happy birthday.Indian team need your guidance for many decades to achieve many glories.Be with us like a guardian.
