Former Indian batsman Rahul Dravid has recently been inducted in ICC’s elite ‘Hall of Fame’ list. India’s former number 3 currently becomes the fifth Indian to make the cut to the list where he joins Kapil Dev, Bishan Singh Bedi, Anil Kumble in the list. But, what was surprising was that Rahul Dravid took to Facebook after a 3-month-long gap. He had last made a Facebook post on 12 April and then it happened today, moments after he was inducted in the Hall of Fame.
His post was quite humble, where he looked to thank one and all for his feat. His post read, “It’s a real honour and privilege to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame and be in the company of some of my heroes. Thank you to everyone for the support throughout my career.”
It also has a picture from the iconic Adelaide Test, where you can see Dravid hitting the winning runs. The bowler was Stuart McGill.
Describing it as a great honour and privilege, Dravid, in his acceptance speech, said ” I am thankful to the ICC for giving me this honour. It is a privilege to be among a group of people I have looked up to and I have admired as a young man growing up in the journey as a cricketer. I’d love to be able to thank so many people who have made it possible for me to have a career in the sport and to fulfil my dreams.”
“My parents, my family, my two kids, my so many friends, colleagues that I have played with, and played against that enriched my game. My many coaches right from the time I was in school and the coaches I have played for in India have really helped me to develop as a cricketer. I would not be here if not for support and love that they have given me and I’m truly grateful and thankful for it,” he added.
