Since there is no cricket, a cricket fan on Instagram decided to give tribute to Rahul Dravid and suggest the world how to fight the pandemic. Rahul Dravid’s elaborated cricket career was shown as an example to follow during this increasing scare created by the Covid-19.
Why Dravid can be an example at this time?
Rahul Dravid, former India captain known as The Great Wall is one of the legendary names in the world of cricket. He was known for his solid batting techniques, safe hands in the skips. He was the one who agreed to keep wickets when Sourav Ganguly wanted to add an extra batsman to the combination. He was there for the crisis of the team, ready to take any role for the sake of the Indian team. Rahul Dravid overcame his initial limitations and proved his mettle across all formats and became one of the very few Indian batsmen to have crossed 10000 runs in both Tests and ODIs. He amassed over 24000 international runs in his-long lasting cricket career.
Instagram shows why to follow Dravid
An Instagram thread took photos from Dravid illustrating career and highlighted different roles he played for the team. Then it went on to explain how to fight Coronavirus taking lessons from the legend.
The thread was named, “How to fight Coronavirus: Lessons from Rahul Dravid. (A thread)”.
The first photo showed a picture of Dravid letting the ball go with the tagline, “The best way to avoid danger is to keep a distance”.
Next one was Dravid pouching a difficult catch in slip, “It’s important to have a clean and safe pair of hands.” This was followed by the famous Eden Test photograph saying, “Don’t Panic. You can overcome the worst of the situations with patience.”
Rahul Dravid used to stand still and have a long partnership for every wicket. The next photo was about one such match with the caption, “Tough times don’t last, tough men do”.
The next photo was Dravid keeping behind the wickets with the caption, “Be ready to work from a different place when needed”. After that, it was the controversial decision related to Sachin Tendulkar with the caption, “Call back your team members from offsite when you think the time is right, without worrying about someone’s personal milestones.”
The final one was Dravid holding the Under 19 World Cup and the caption stated, “When you have mastered the art, teach others.”
