Rahul Dravid's retirement from international cricket was announced at his home ground, the Chinnaswamy Stadium, in a function room filled with more than 200 people. Family, team-mates, friends, KSCA members, officials and reporters had gathered - as did fans watching a live broadcast on national television - to mark the end of an extraordinary career and a "reassuring presence" in the Indian team.Dravid, the second-highest run-getter in the history of Test cricket, possibly the last of India's classical Test batsmen, was a cricketer who effectively straddled the old school with the new age, becoming a essential figure in the growth of India's Test team in the 21st century.
