Happily,When Rahul was reselected for odi tri-series in srilanka last year, said he didn't look at the recall as a chance to prove his detractors wrong. "I have never played my cricket that way, wanting to prove a point," Dravid told the Deccan Herald. "To me, it's about trying your best to be the best you can be, day after day, in whichever format you are playing and for whichever team you are playing."
Dravid, who has had a long break after the IPL ended in May, said: "It's nice to be back, I am very happy. I am looking forward to the Sri Lanka tri-series and the Champions Trophy in South Africa, to giving it my best. It will be nice to catch up with the boys once again."
Its Seveourly dissapointing Mr Dravid not included into squard of Probable 30 recently selected for upcoming 2011-World cup. A Tribute to One day performance of rahul-
