14 Gentlemen of the game – Cricketers loved all over the Globe: Started as a leisure activity for the rich several years back, cricket assumed professional proportions only in recent times. Earlier it was considered much too sacred a game to be affected by popular public demands but with careers at stake, nowadays players often cross the line. Monetary penalties have only curbed the friction among individuals on the field but not stopped it completely. Despite all of this there have been many cricketers who have been role models in every sense of the word. They have set examples for future generations to follow as to how the game should be played with the correct attitude and in the right spirit. All of this has not meant compromising on performance in any way. If anything, it has only improved their game. These Gentlemen have proved that the highest quality cricket can certainly be played without being involved in verbal battles. They believe in letting the bat/ball do the talking.

Today we take a look at the 14 Gentlemen of the game – Cricketers loved all over the Globe:

1. Rahul Dravid:

If Cricket is a gentleman’s game he is the undisputed gentleman. Rahul Sharad Dravid is one of the nicest guys you will ever come across on the cricket field. A modern great, Dravid held the ethics of the game as high in regards as the rules of the game. Having scored more than 10000 runs in both forms of the game, and taken most catches in test cricket he was never one to complain about things like the umpire’s decision when harshly adjudged out. Dravid’s was a world of dignity, civility and poetry. There are very few cricketers left in his mould today.

It is not only in his native India, but with the persona that Rahul Dravid has is considered an ideal role model for young cricketers to follow his techniques with the bat and in the head as well.
