Top 5 talented players who were overshadowed by more flamboyant teammates

#2 Rahul Dravid

Steel and grit of Dravid overshadowed by the flamboyance of Sachin

Many believe that Rahul Dravid has been accorded much more importance after his retirement from the game and that people realised his true worth when he was no longer around.

A man with steel, and grit, there was no flamboyance attached to Dravid's game, but the fact that he is fourth highest run-getter in Test cricket speaks volumes of his ability.

Many also believe, that had Dravid not played alongside one Sachin Tendulkar, his legend would have been much more immense, and that he would have been given the due he so richly deserved. The man himself confesses that he was overawed around Sachin, and was always looking to impress the great man whenever he batted.

This feeling filtered out too, and while Sachin was a naturally gifted player who could control emotions of the entire nation, Dravid was more of a fighter who scrapped for everything all through his career.

While Sachin was the more glitzy one, Dravid was like a calm monk imparting steely presence every time he stepped onto the field. Whatever be the case, the unassuming legend will always be one the brightest stars to have emerged from India.
