No dream is ever chased alone.

I was in the hockey team in school, played football. One of the challenges for me was to make the team feel better. It helped me evolve, so batting at different positions was never a problem.

While I played Ranji Trophy for five years, I used to be asked, 'When are you playing for the nation?' - a question which I didn't have any answer to. I kept playing before I got my first break in 1996 those five years were indeed frustrating.

You get an image in the first couple of years of your career, and then whether you like it or not, you are stuck with it for the rest of your life.
Rahul Dravid
You don't win or lose the games bcoz of 11 you select. You win or lose with what those 11 do on the field.

If someone thinks, 'I'll spend the off season working on my fitness and I'll come back a better cricketer,' I don't think that's enough. You need to spend a lot of time working on your skills and honing your skills.

Cricket is just something that I am good at, just like various people are good at various things. What's lucky is that cricket gets enormous publicity.
Rahul Dravid

Unwanted honking not only irritates others, but may also end up causing accidents. Drivers lose cool and it may result in road rage.
Rahul Dravid
There is no substitute to taking a lot of a catches as a youngster if you want to do slip catching - you've got to catch, catch, catch. And more than doing the normal stuff, you have to vary your catching - you've got to take some catches with the tennis ball, you got to take some closer, some further away.
Rahul Dravid
I was like every other boy in India, with a dream of playing for my country. Yet I could never have imagined a journey so long and so fulfilling. No dream is ever chased alone.
Rahul Dravid
Even if my grandchildren don’t remember the fact that I scored 10,000 runs in Test and ODI cricket, I am confident that they will remember that Sachin Tendulkar used to be my team-mate.
Rahul Dravid
Pravin Tambe is bigger inspiration than me for young cricketers
Rahul Dravid
I think credibility, irrespective of what you do, if you are in public life, then it is important.
Rahul Dravid
In a cricket career, your life is in some ways controlled for you. You have no control over schedules, you have no control about where you want to play, you don't have control over that as a cricketer.
Rahul Dravid
Playing in the same team as Sachin is a huge honour. His balance of mind, shrewd judgment, modesty and, above all, his technical brilliance make him my all-time hero. You can't get a more complete cricketer than Sachin. He has everything that a cricketer needs to have
Rahul Dravid
The bowlers I respected or feared or rated were not the ones who gave me lip or stared at me or abused me. More the ones who, at any stage of the game, when had they had the ball in hand, they were going to be at me, and they were going to have the skill and the fitness and the ability to be aggressive.
