Dravid was at the other end when Laxman scored 280runs(376 run prtnrshp),he was at the othr end when Sehwag score 300+ against Pakistan (410run prtnshp),he was at othr end when sehwag score 319 against SA(268 run prtnrshp),he was at othr end when Sehwag scored 293 against Sri(237 run prtnshp) infact india top four,five individual top score come when dravid was at the othr end. He scored 95 at Lords on his debut in 1996... In the same match debutant Ganguly scored 131 .. Eclipsed by Gangulys innings.... He scored 145 in worldcup 1999 in England.... In the same match Ganguly scored 183... Attention was on Ganguly...Became the top run getter in 1999 worldcup.. But unfortunately India couldnt make it to the semis... And only few people remember Dravids 461 runs....He scored 153 against NewZealand ( a world record partnership with Tendulkar)... But People talked about Tendulkars 186..He scored 180 in 2nd innings after being said to follow on against mighty Aussies in 2001.. But got unnoticed because of Laxmans 281 and Bhajjis hatrick...He sored 50 of 22 balls. 2nd fastest fifty by an Indian in odi against NewZealand in 2003.. A very unlikely Dravid innings.. But in the same match Sachin and Sehwag scored hundred..Got unnoticed..He scored 270 at Rawalpindi in 2004...2nd highest score by an Indian outside India.. But highest score by an Indian outside India came in the very same series against Pakistan, Sehwags 309... Very few know that India holds the record in consecutive wins while chasing..17 wins.. Out of which 15 wins were captained by Dravid. Indias poor run in the 2007 worldcup adjudged him as an unsuccessful captain... Even in his last match, he was eclipsed by Tendulkar who was playing his last match in coloured clothing...Always played under the shadow of Sachin, Ganguly, Sehwag....etc.. But when it mattered there was always someone building THE WALL.... Good Bye Dravid !! TOP 10 PLAYERS WITH MOST CONSECUTIVE ODI INNINGS WITHOUT A DUCK: 10. Graham Gooch - 86 INNINGS 9. Michael Hussey - 88 INNINGS 8. Dean Jones - 88 INNINGS 7. AB de Villiers - 90 INNINGS 6. Mohammad Yousuf - 92* INNINGS 5. Richie Richardson - 92* INNINGS 4. Javed Miandad - 96 INNINGS 3.

Whenever you feel god is doing unfair things to you in your life , just think about Rahul Darvid. Whenever you fail in life, look up to him. Not all dreams come true, But if you have a dream, you have to give it your best shot
