Tonight, I will be watching the one day international between India and England with great interest and with mixed emotions. Today is the last time that Rahul Dravid will take the field in “blues”. And, it will indeed be a cocktail of emotions – happiness that he could retire from the one day arena on his own terms; sadness that there will not be another opportunity to watch him in a limited over setting; anger that we have been deprived of watching this class act for the last 4 years due to foolish selection choices; disappointment at the way a legend has been treated in the ODI scheme of things. Nostalgia has crept in and I feel that this is a good time to pen my thoughts as a tribute to Rahul Dravid.
