RD is an aggressive captain..no doubt!!


"A defensive captain", "dominated by Greg Chappell", "captain of the 70s", were some of the statements made by former players and media on Rahul Dravid.According to me,these comments are 'utter rubbish'. Does stripping shirt off and waving in the pavilion means aggression? Does fighting with the umpire and getting a ban means aggression? Does being very expressive means aggression? Absolutely NO.Setting aggressive fields,taking bold decisions,trusting the players to the fullest are some of the qualities of a true aggressive captain. Rahul Dravid has shown all these qualities in the Joburg match, won the toss and chose to bat which is very brave and as Ganguly mentioned, field-settings were superb and aggressive.And whats wrong if Greg dominates things off the field?? Rahul Dravid is the boss on the field, it is his team.This victory is a great answer to all the critics including Mr Kapil Dev.He might be a great player but his comments on Dravid and Chappell duo were not great,in fact very disappointing.

Some facts :

India's first series victory in WI was under Rahul Dravid
India's first test win in PAK was under Rahul Dravid
India's first test win in SA was under Rahul Dravid


I hope India registers its first series win in SA under RD too.
Keep going RD!!!
