He's been phenomenal, has had terrific last 2-3 years and possibly done the best batting of his life.When I came he had already been around for seven years; he was my captain in West Indies (in 1997) and was a source of great motivation. That motivation has not changed,
Sachin Tendulkar
Rahul Dravid is the highest run-getter against the West Indies with a total of 1408 runs putting behind Sachin and VVS Laxman at an average of about 67.He also hoped that some new talent could be found from this test series as this was a great opportunity for youngsters to prove themselves.He said that
Over the next year or two, young batsmen should be coming through -- like Ganguly, Laxman and I did. Sooner than later, similar young boys would come through and two or three would have similar long careers for the next 15 years. Then the team is going to be in good health,
RD also said he would love to score runs at the Sabina Park in West Indies, Because it is one of his favourite stadiums.We wish him all the best.
