Rahul’s Straight Bat Heave

Rahul Dravid could not resist putting the great panjandrums of Indian cricket in their place.

Rahul Dravid normally steers clear of controversy. But the country’s cricket board has fallen so low that even he could not resist putting the great panjandrums of Indian cricket in their place. “There are so many fans and so many people who care deeply about this game and it is because of these fans that we are who we are as cricketers. Administrators are there because of the fans and the cricketers to run this game, so [the] credibility of a game, or a board, or even a government, for that matter, is important irrespective of what you do. If you are in public life, it is important,” Dravid said. That’s right, BCCI. You exist for the public and the players—not the other way round. And now that Dravid has made a statement, will Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri finally muster the guts to speak out against their crooked paymasters?
