There has rarely been a historic Indian win without a vital contribution from &lsquo;The Wall&rsquo;, yet, playing in the Tendulkar era, his achievements have been eclipsed by the blinding presence of the great &lsquo;Little Master&rsquo;. A thourough gentleman, Dravid was a role model for many including cricketers. Lets see some of the iconic quotes about Rahul Dravid from Cricketers&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"line-height: 20.7999992370605px; text-align: justify; font-family: tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;\"><strong>Sachin Tendulkar:<\/strong><br \/>\r\nHe (Dravid) is a perfect role model for youngsters. He has set a great example for all of us to follow. We are all trying to follow that path,&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, geneva, sans-serif; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; text-align: justify;\">Brian Lara :<\/span><\/strong><br style=\"font-family: tahoma, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; text-align: justify;\" \/>\r\n<span style=\"font-family: tahoma, geneva, sans-serif; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; text-align: justify;\">&quot;If I have to put anyone to bat for my life, it&rsquo;ll be Kallis or Dravid&quot;.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><strong>Brett Lee<\/strong><br \/>\r\n&quot;If you can&#39;t get along with Dravid, you&#39;re struggling in life &quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><strong>Glenn McGrath<\/strong><br \/>\r\n&quot;Dravid has been a class player for a long time now and we know his ability better than anyone. He&#39;s not like the other guys who love scoring off every ball, and there&#39;s no real weakness in his game either.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><strong>Shoaib Akhtar<\/strong><br \/>\r\n&quot;Even though Sachin is great, I have always found Rahul more solid and hard to get out. He has a solid defense and plays less shots than others. When a batsman plays less shots then it is tough to get him as he makes less mistakes.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><strong>Javagal Srinath<\/strong><br \/>\r\n&quot;I have also not seen him lose his temper. He has that uncanny skill of keeping his frustrations to himself. He hates to get out though and you can see the restlessness in him till he gets his act together in the next outing. He is the most hard-working guy in the side.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><strong>Allan Border<\/strong><br \/>\r\n&quot;Everyone has already exhausted superlatives so I would not bother myself with any additional praise but you could be sure my admiration for him has grown tremendously.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><strong>Muralitharan<\/strong><br \/>\r\n&ldquo;Rahul is always been in the shadow of Sachin.
