So we have come to a breaking point before the start of the Pakistan Series , the Selectors are going tough with the current form of Ex-Captain , Rahul Dravid. The Chairman of Selectors , Dilip Vengsarkar said in a statement that "Dravid was rested". This is a very dangerous word in Indian Cricket. We have seen this happening to all the players previously who have been left out.
So does this auger well for the Indian Cricket or Is this an end of road for Dravid in ODI's ? I am not sure which is a better question here , anyways without dravid the middle seems to be working fine. He collected a meagre 70 odd runs in the 6 ODI's played against Australia. With this stating as concern , Dravid was dropped with the statement that he was rested and needs a break after the tough series in England.
The Wall of Indian Cricket has once again collapsed to the pressure thrown up by the youngsters in the rungs of ghambir , Uthappa , Dhoni himself after leading the Indian side to WC win in T20. The Selectors are playing it hard on the seniors and statement "The place in the Indian team should not be taken for granted", this sounds some bells alarming for the senior players in the team.
The Calm, Cool personality and the experience of Dravid will be missed for the first 2 one dayers, which the Indian selectors seems to have forgotten. Take a look at his profile through the years!!!

Dravid gonna bounce back for sure! According to me, dravid is the most talented batsman india ever produced. I would rate him higher than Sachin. If Dravid is not selected for Australia series, the Indians are gonna have a tough time!
I have already told you not to waste your precious time and energy in such useless talk as this one about cricket. Whether Dravid is selected or not, it does not matter at all. India is destined to lose, if he is there or not. The Indian team is known for their consistency in being inconsistency. Nor do they have required stamina to keep consistency. What do you say?
@Karthik
I wonder how you rated him above sachin.
@Revathi

@Vijesh,
Technically, Rahul is above any current indian player!!
@karthik
skill only does not matter. Attitude matters.
@Vijesh, Do you question the attitude of Dravid ?? If yes , then u are wrong !!! Maybe Dravid wasn't the best ever indian captain but questioning his attitude is incorrect. I would say he has done enough just as captain , maybe his form was poor. But everyone gt a bad patch and you need to give them some to recover.
The double century against Mumbai in the ranji trophy match how class a player he is!!!
Fair enough. I was trying to tell the reason why he was dropped from the sqad. If he is back in form, bring him in. :) It would be good time now.
