Rahul Dravid

The player and the man
Born on January 11 1973, Rahul came into a Maharashtrian Deshastha family in
Indore. His father worked in a company which made jams (hence the nickname
Jammy) while his mother was a professor of architecture.
Dravid started playing cricket at the age of 12, and represented the state at the
under-15, under-17 and under-19 level.
Rahul's talents were first spotted by former cricketer Keki Tarapore who was coaching at
a summer coaching camp. He went on to score a double century for his school on debut
The talent to play cricket was in Dravid as much as in any youngster his age. He was
selected to make his Ranji Trophy debut in February 1991 against Maharashtra in Pune
Opportunities came thick and fast since and he made his Test debut for India in 1996
against England.
Although busy cracking runs, Dravid also attended St. Joseph's College of Commerce in
Bangalore.
He however, soon joined ranks with fellow greats like VVS Laxman, Sourav Ganguly and
Sachin tendulkar to usher India into a new age of fierce and solid cricket. Dravid's main
weapon was his solid technique with the bat.
Considered the heartthrob of the entire country, Dravid chose to break many when he
married Vijeta Pendharkar, a surgeon from Nagpur in 2003.
The couple have two sons - Samit (born 2005) and Anvay (born 2009).
Laurels came thick and fast for Dravid who has always been grateful to his parents and
has thanked them for helping him achieve the things he has.
