There are few people I admire more than Rahul Dravid.
I don't think many people will remember his batting or watch its reruns on Youtube the way they do it for Sachin or Lara. It wasn't attractive. I don't aspire for the kind of success that he had on the field. Not that I can achieve that. It's Rahul Dravid, the human being that I find so inspiring. There are few people in the history of Indian cricket who are known so much for their humility, their hard work, and their team-ethics.
I learned about him through what his peers had to say in their various essays on Cricinfo. The essays were compiled into a book called "Timeless Steel" which has strangely gone out of print.
Here's the link to his speech in Australia for Bradman's oration. The link starts at the place where he talks about the importance of fan to the game. The complete transcript is here.
I want to be like Rahul Dravid.

I doubt if I'll enjoy cricket as much as I did when they were around
