Dravid Praises Diversity of Talent in Indian Cricket

Rahul Dravid has highlighted the immense growth and strength of Indian cricket, attributing it to the diverse talent emerging from every corner of the country. Speaking at the 50-year celebration of Mount Joy Cricket Club, Dravid noted that Indian cricket's current power is a result of talent coming from both major cities and remote areas.

Dravid emphasized that unlike earlier times when talent was predominantly sourced from big cities or specific states, today's cricket scene reflects a broader geographical spread. He pointed to the improved standards in domestic cricket, particularly the Ranji Trophy, as evidence of this evolution. Dravid praised the club cricket structure, especially in Karnataka, for ensuring accessibility and equality in the sport.

He also shared a nostalgic memory from his club cricket days, underscoring the importance of grassroots support and accessible infrastructure in nurturing talent.
