Rahul Dravid becomes fifth Indian to be inducted in ICC Hall of fame

Former Indian skipper and current India U-19 coach, Rahul Dravid was bestowed with the honour of being inducted in the ICC Hall of Fame. Before this induction, only four Indian players - Bishan Singh Bedi, Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev and Anil Kumble - had the privilege of boasting themselves on the prestigious list.

“It is a great honour and privilege to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. I am thankful to the ICC for giving me this honour. It is a privilege to be among a group of people I have looked up to and I have admired as a young man growing up in the journey as a cricketer. I'd love to be able to thank so many people who have made it possible for me o have a career in the sport and to fulfil my dreams. My parents, my family, my two kids, my so many friends, colleagues that I have played with, and played against that enriched my game. My many coaches right from the time I was in school and the coaches I have played for in India have really helped me to develop as a cricketer," said Dravid in his acceptance speech.
