Dravid speaks in Indore
Highlights of Dravid's speech at a fecilitation function at Indore, his birth place.
"Players like Sehwag or Dhoni were not made in one day. It has taken years of hard work which they put in to reach wherever they are today, and that should be highlighted,"
"They must have had so many heartaches and disappointments (on the way). It is not easy for everyone to survive that."
"I really give credit to these young players who take all the attention given to them in their stride and still perform. It is difficult to deal with fame."
"It improves my performance to bat at any number. It is a challenge"
"So I am not aspiring to be fixed at any one position, especially in the ODIs. But in the Tests, now I am trying to have stablility."
Despite instances of boorish and unruly behaviour by the crowd in the ongoing series, Dravid rated Indian fans as the best in the world.
"It is a pride to play or India. Indian fans are the best in the world and no other motivation is needed to perform."
"I am lucky to play in this generation of Sachin Tendulkar, Javagal Srinath and Anil Kumble. It is a proud to share the dressing room with them."
