2 Teamwork
Unless one is engaged in certain niche professions, one has to be a team player to go far in a chosen trade, and it is quite true for anyone in team sports.
However, what separates Dravid from so many others is his innate quality of doing what is necessary for the team, despite having been one of the senior most players in the team for much of his career.
When the Indian team decided to play an extra batsman under Sourav Ganguly, it was Rahul Dravid who stepped up and donned the wicketkeeping gloves, while dropping down to number 5 to perform the role of the finisher.
Wicketkeeping is a tough job and the fact that Dravid took it up shows that he thought more about the collective. In addition to that, dropping down to number 5 also limited his opportunities to get the big hundreds, yet he became one of India's most important players as he became one of the best innings closers in the game during that period.
