Rahul Dravid
The anchor of India’s run chase on that afternoon at Nairobi, Dravid’s importance in the Indian team hardly took a hit when the new guys came in the side. His responsible, sedate knocks in ODIs gave the other batsmen the opportunity to play around him and change gears whenever required.
He briefly took over the role of a wicket-keeper batsman to lend balance to the side and accommodate an extra batsman in the team. Later, he combined with several middle order batsmen, including Yuvraj himself, to lead India to victory in various limited overs matches.
He took over the captaincy from Sourav Ganguly, getting mixed results from the team. The lowest point of his career was the humiliating ouster from the World Cup in 2007, where his side lost to Bangladesh and Sri Lanka to bow out in the group stages.
Apart from a brief lull in form, Dravid continue to flourish as a batsman, coming up with solid performances even in the twilight of his career. He retired in early 2012.
He is now the coach of the India-A and U-19 sides, and is also the brand ambassador of the Blind Cricket World Cup 2017.
