Team India’s Captains and their keywords

Captain – Rahul Dravid, Keyword – Stability

Mr. Dependable led Team India during a transition phase. The ultimate team man, Rahul Dravid played different roles as a player as and when the team required him to do. He batted at various positions, kept wickets and was handed the job of filling up the captaincy void when there was a rift between Greg Chappell and Sourav Ganguly.

There were cracks in the team but he had to hold the team together. That was a phase when the team needed stability to keep moving ahead and Dravid lent it. As always, he did the job. Team India was ageing, fitter bodies were the need of the hour, and the change couldn’t have happened in the absence of stability.
