Rahul Dravid played his last ODI against Australia on October 14 2007 at Nagpur . With the emergence of fresh "Talent" like Rohit Sharma , Suresh Raina and Yousuf Pathan , Rahul Dravid lost his place in the ODI team .These players scored heavily on flat pitches , however on hard bouncy surfaces and in seaming conditions these "talented" players fell flat on their places .These guys were literally exposed against some quick short stuff in England and West Indies . Meanwhile Rahul Dravid shed his image of a defensive player and played some great knocks in the IPL 2009 scoring at a strike rate of 115 .This brought home the reality of the importance of players like Dravid .
The BCCI selection panel has taken a positive step by including Rahul Dravid in probables list for the Champions Trophy which will be played on hard and bouncy pitches in South Africa. Without doubt he will be in the Indian team heading for South Africa .
It is good to see Saha , Nayyar and Bhuvneshwar singh in that list .They deserved it .
Here is the Probables list :
MS Dhoni, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Suresh Raina, Yusuf Pathan, Abhishek Nayar, Ishant Sharma, Zaheer Khan, RP Singh, Praveen Kumar, Harbhajan Singh, Pragyan Ojha, Ravindra Jadeja, Dinesh Karthik, Munaf Patel, R Ashwin, M Vijay, Amit Mishra, Ajinkya Rahane, Dhawal Kulkarni, S Badrinath, Ashish Nehra, Virat Kohli, Bhuvneshwar Kumar Singh, Wriddhiman Saha, Pankaj Singh
