Rahul Dravid made a surprise come back into the one day squad of Team India for the England series.
Many people have wrote rahul off when he was dropped from the squad a couple of years ago.His class, hardwork and the ability to perform at international level even at an age of 39 marks him as a true legend of world cricket and as one of the best INDIA had produced over 2 decades.
The selection of Dravid on the seaming tracks of England is a clear sign of the fear and insecurity facing by the WORLD CUP winning selection panel.
The big question that arises is the number of batsmen who can bowl a 10 overs of quota in the top 7 of the team.
The decision of dravid picked up in the Team can only be justified by MS DHONI when he picks the playing eleven and the huge advantage of picking Dravid in the playing 11 gives DHONI to pick 5 regular bowlers instead of picking 7 specialist batsmen.
As HARSHA BHOGLE mentioned in his tweets
''quietly in his hotel room rahul dravid can be very proud of himself; that whenever there is a need he has the opportunity to fill it.''
finally, its a good move to pick Dravid who gives solidity to the batting order . But, the TEAM certainly lacks an all-rounder in the form of YUVRAJ who can easily fit into the shoes of a spinner who can bowl 7-8 overs a match.
Hope, the world cup winning Indian captain M.S Dhoni wins this challenging ODI series on English Soil and adds another feather to his cap.
