Rahul Dravid’s Affairs and Marriage

From 1968-1971, Vijeta’s father served in Bangalore, and that was when both families met and grew close to each other. Rahul and Vijeta met during that time, and Vijeta’s friends reported that Rahul had affection for her, so whenever they went to Nagpur, he would make sure to meet her. After realizing what their kids wanted, the families didn’t waste much time getting back together. It was a love marriage fixed by the families. A wedding took place on May 4, 2003, for the couple.

Controversies surrounding Rahul Dravid

Rahul Sharad Dravid – This name would’ve been a celebrity if he played for any other country than India. However, most of his heroics were overshadowed because he played during the era of Sachin Tendulkar, not because he wasn’t appreciated here.

Sachin and Dravid couldn’t have done anything about it, and they won many ODIs and Tests for India together. Sadly, this man did not escape the controversy that comes with all the limelight. Nevertheless, he sometimes became involved in controversy.

1. When Sachin was on 194*and Dravid declared the innings!

This has to be at the top of the list when one thinks of Rahul Dravid with controversy. As the man himself stated, he has been asked thousands of times about this question, and it is still being asked. A scintillating 309 from Virender Sehwag in the first innings lit up the Multan Test between Virender Sehwag and Pakistan in 2004. Although it didn’t need any further attention, this declaration remains connected to it. At 675/5, India dominated the second day’s play of the Test match after Sehwag’s brilliant knock. With Tendulkar on 194 and Yuvraj Singh on 59, Yuvraj Singh was the fifth wicket to fall in the form of a catch.

Even Pakistan fans were not excited by the fall of the wicket, but what happened later was bizarre. Standing in for India’s captain Rahul Dravid, Dravid knew his teammate was one shot away from his well-deserved double century. In his book, Sachin Tendulkar clarified that this statement had no consequence on their friendship.

2. Coach and two captains

The fallout between Sourav Ganguly and Greg Chappell is well-known in the history of cricket in the 21st century. Despite Ganguly’s abrupt dismissal, Rahul Dravid was appointed captain of the Team, and it was hardly a happy dressing room after Ganguly returned.

During one of the matches recently, Ganguly and Dravid had a heated discussion, which had gone viral before the match. The Prince of Kolkata’s statements states that Dravid was not courageous enough to revolt against Chappell in those days. However, both cricket legends are working hard for improved Indian cricket. As President of BCCI, Ganguly presides over the National Cricket Academy (NCA) under the direction of Dravid.

3. Ball-Tampering allegations

While playing in the 2003-04 VB Series in Australia, Rahul Dravid was caught changing the ball’s condition. At the Gabba in Brisbane, the incident occurred during a match between Australia and Zimbabwe on January 20, 2004. Dravid rubbed a cough lozenge on the shiny side of the white ball as the TV cameras captured him.

Thru a third umpire, Peter Parker, the match referee, was informed of the incident. Despite this, neither Steve Davis nor Rudi Koertzen was willing to press charges against him. In the end, Lloyd decided to file a complaint against Dravid under clause 2.10 of the ICC Code of Conduct since the evidence on camera was against him.

4. Retained as Captain

Although India had a disastrous World Cup campaign in 2007, Rahul Dravid was retained as the Team’s captain. Dravid was dropped from the Team for the home series against Pakistan, and Dhoni captained the ODI team. He was the team captain not so long ago, and it was a surprise for many.

However, the major controversy was yet to come as Sourav Ganguly and Vivek Laxman were also excluded from the Australian CB Series in 2008. Dravid was also a crucial part of the ODI team and this marked a change in the era in Indian cricket as the Men in Blue won their first-ever tri-series in Australia. As it happens, Dravid also made his comeback in the Champions Trophy team in 2009.
