Supporting worthy causes is something every sportsperson does in
his or her own way on many an occasion. But it gives me special
pleasure in donating this bat to Equation. Over the years Rahul has
kept me updated on the work The Foundation is engaged in. It is
in-depth, informed and deeply sensitive work. I assure them of my
continuing support.
One might contend the genius of Rahul Dravid lies in his sublime batting. Or in his incredibly astute
cricketing brain. Or even in his legendary mental resilience. We believe it lies in his ability to be grounded.
To be, above all his records and his undeniable place as an all-time great, the person he has always been –
thoughtful, compassionate, grounded. It is these qualities we salute in his pledge to Equation. The bat you see
in the picture is one of Rahul’s most significant willows. A century in each innings is no mean feat for the best
in the game and Rahul’s knocks in each essay in the Kolkata test piloted India to victory. A win in front of the
famed Eden Gardens crowd is something every Indian cherishes. May there be many more. |
