Rahul Dravid : truly deserves the award.


Rahul Dravid : truly deserves the award.

India’s greatest cricketer Rahul Dravid was named for the prestigious Padma Bhushan award this year.

He was the backbone of Indian batting and was rightly called “The Wall” for his superlative batting. He retired from international cricket recently. The former India captain scored 13,288 runs in 164 Tests with an average of 52.31 while he accumulated 10,889 in 344 ODIs, averaging 39.16.

 Dravid, the only cricketer in the list to win the award this year, is the third highest run-getter in Test history behind compatriot Sachin Tendulkar (15645) and Australia's Ricky Ponting (13378).

 Dravid truly deserves this award for his contribution to Indian cricket.

Who will get Bharat Ratna? Sachin or Vishy Anand.
I will vote for Vishy Anand who has successfully defended world championship
3rd time in a row from 2007. Chess is more competetive than cricket
which is well known in almost all countries.
