He showed all his anger on MBA exams: MSK Prasad on Dravid’s frustration after being dropped

Rahul Dravid is probably one of the calmest cricketers who had represented the game. However, there were times when he had lost his cool. One of them was during 1998-1999 when he was dropped from the ODI squad.

Former BCCI selector MSK Prasad revealed an incident during the live chat with Sportskeeda. He said that Dravid worked really hard but he was dropped from the ODI side. At the same time, Dravid was doing his MBA but did not get much time due to cricket. Since he was dropped, he made use of the free time and had cleared all the exams with flying colours.

“He was doing MBA and because of his international cricket, he was not getting that particular time to finish off his other papers. So, in between, he had six months of break from Indian cricket [because] he was dropped from the ODI side. So, he came back [and] he finished all his 13 papers during that time,” MSK Prasad, who played cricket with Rahul Dravid.

“Apart from studying, I know how everyday in the morning how much he used to work hard because we were also in the same flat. How he used to work hard…I can feel the pain in him. So he showed all his anger [on his exams]. He eventually completed MBA with 75 or 80 percent and eventually he found a place in the Indian team again and he went on to become the batsman of the World Cup,” MSK Prasad, who played six Tests and 17 ODIs for India, said.

In 1999 World cup, Rahul Dravid emerged as the highest run-scorer for India. In eight matches, he scored 461 runs at an average of 65.85.
