Rahul Dravid knows how to play a pleasing innings. He did just that on Friday evening at a function in a south Mumbai hotel to celebrate 25 years of the CHAMPS Foundation, initiated by his fellow former India captain Sunil Gavaskar in 1999.

It seemed so right to have the current India team’s head coach to talk about values, the understanding of true sacrifice and the right way to help others without making them feel small.
