Former Indian captain Rahul Dravid is celebrating his 49th birthday today (January 11). The cricket fraternity, including former and current players, extended their best wishes to the ‘Wall’ of Indian cricket.
Dravid is currently in South Africa working as Team India head coach for the ongoing Test series. This is his first overseas tour as a senior Indian men’s coach.
Batting legend Sachin Tendulkar extended his wishes to his former teammate Dravid. He took to Twitter and wrote: “A very happy birthday to you, Jammy. Wish you the best of health and good luck for the 3rd Test.”
