There was a time Indian cricket needed solidarity and base to withstand the bowling pressure of the opposition team.Crisis man ,God gifted cricket prodigy arrived on the arena in the summer 96, when India toured England.
His first shot to fame was his compact and great 95 which he made at the backdrop of cricket's most beautiful stadium ,the Lord's. It this prestigious stadium where he burst into international scene as the man with the golden bat.
His first landmark 100 came against the mighty South Africans ,when he faced big names with the likes of Allan Donald,Jack Kallis and Shaun Pollock. This achievement came in the test series of 1996-97.
Then his beginning in the ODI arena was a dream ,debuting in Sahara Cup scoring 90 . All this was a sign of things to come of this man who is the future rock star of the Indian Team.
As ,years pass by his real innate talent was shown at the big spectacle ,The ICC Cricket World Cup 1999,which was held in England.
Is still remember ,my real love for cricket sparked during the most memorable and high scoring match,where India punished and hit a defenseless Sri Lankan bowling attack out of park .
This was the match where the two greats become famous and I really love this match till date.
It was "dada"Sourav Ganguly, prince of Kolkata and the Rock solid became really guns blazing ! all over the park.This is where fell in love with Cricket ,this was the match where easily both matched each other for stroke to stroke . The world 's first 200 actually both these players would have got 200 runs in a single match!.
India won that match easily ,and Ganguly scored too an epic 183. As , an Indian I was heartbroken,India were out of world cup before making to super six and finals .
Australia ,became the world champions that time.
Years pass by, Rahul Dravid my cricket hero ,he showed his calm and batting prowess against teams like Pakistan and Australia where he really likes to play with these two itself Arc rivals ,when it comes to cricketing battles !.
He scored two great knocks of 230 v/s Australia and Pakistan masterpiece 270 . All this came ,in the 2003-04 era.
Then years to come ,his cricketing ability and techniques ,meant for test cricket.
The big upsetting thing I feel ,he his the best in one days too, the man for India in crises situation and has bailed India throughout his career which had a lot of ups and downs.
As a cricket fan, his retirement really saddens me ,that a great wall will now be missed in Indian jersey and the backbone of the Indian team will be missing ,
Years later ,on the march 9th he announces his retirement saying "he his sad yet proud to leave his favourite no3 position to the young new walls of India Virat Kohli ,who is also said to be next rock solid star of Indian cricket.
I salute this cricketer for all the exciting moments he has given our Indian and the world who really love cricket .He is a cricket manual and a idol to look up to who really like batting .
The second highest test run -scorer. The real Rock star of Indian cricket.
