For inspiring so many youngsters to bat like you guys. We are seeing the results in Pujara and Virat. :yay:

Thank you for retiring as well. If you both had retired a year earlier than you did, we would have saved some embarrassment.

Thank you for retiring as well. If you both had retired a year earlier than you did' date=' we would have saved some embarrassment.[/quote'] Kohli, rohit, Pujara have again and again called out how much they have learned by playing along with these guys and how much they have been groomed. We have seen again and again how even talented batsmen do not last in international cricket without guidance or mentoring. We have examples of our bowling in front where without guidance they fall by the wayside. It is not a coincidence that whenever India has clicked as a unit, most times Zaheer has been in the side But go on, keep ignoring this fact. Just assume talented bats who succeed in international cricket fall from skies. IMO those extra years which Dravid and then Sachin stayed went a long way in grooming these youngsters, both on the field and in the dressing room/nets
