hi friends.if u see last year ipl,it changed the fortune of a certain guy who was not expected to perform that well.
i am talking about sanath jayasurya.hit 31 sixes and almsot propelled the mumbai indians to the semis.
a few weeks before IPL,jaya surya was not even in the odi squad of the sri lankan team but after his performance in IPL,he was back into the team at the age of 40.
now dravid was playing brilliantly in a format which is not suited for him .eventhough he dont feel comfortable with it,he is playing very well indeed.so if dravid scores lets say 500+ runs this season of IPL with a strike rate of about 140,will the indian thinktank consider bringing him back into the ODI squad?
i see no reason why they cant bring him in if such thing happens.

It is nice to hear that Rahul Dravid is back in the Indian ODI team. He is a good player and a good team player. He shines very good as a wicket keeper also. All the best to Dravid. Wish he can do well in the oncoming matches.
Thanks for responding to my discussion.

Rahul Dravid is a pioneer in the art called cricket.He has passion,elegance,timing and everything that makes him a star player.Moreover he has his golden experience in Indian cricket which can't be bought anywhere else.He has been the key for winning many matches for India.But now the Indian selectors are more onto youngsters.They want everyone in the team to be between 20 or 30 years of age.In Sri Lanka it happened because they are not keen into searching new talents into their cricket.But Indian scouts are now better and searching for exceptional talents in the not so searched parts of the country.So the old has to make way for the new ,it has been the rule always.No doubt Rahul Darvid is a legend.He will be remembered in Indian cricket as the greatest ever wall.I'm his great fan.Happy mylotting.Keep posting.

We all know Rahul Dravid deserves the place in Indian One Day squad. But Indian Selectors are Indian Selectors. They won't pick him in the team. The reason is simple. 'We are giving importance to Youngsters' Even Dravid hits fastest century in this IPL then also selectors will ignore him. That is sure.
