5 life lessons we can all learn from Rahul Dravid

1 Knowing when to quit

There are some cricketers who have the luxury of calling time on their career when they see fit and it is highly unlikely that they will be pushed out by the selectors.

Rahul Dravid was certainly in that category, yet he called it a day when he realised that he might not be at his best and at a time when he could have continued for another year.

After all, he had been India's best batsman in the 2011 tour to England and scored 3 centuries. However, the 2011-12 tour of Australia was a poor one for him and instead of playing a few more tours, Dravid decided to call it a day.

This particular ability to walk away from what one loves is a trait that not many have, across professions and Dravid's decision to walk away without any drama is definitely one of the biggest lessons from his career.
