Celebrating 15 Years of The Wall


It's been 15 years of classy batting, flawless technique, rock solid defense, pure discipline, commitment, hardwork and selflessness, and today, this Player no. 207 is known as 'The Wall' of Indian Cricket team.

A career which began at the Mecca of cricket, Lord's, this day back in 1996, has traveled across the globe, achieving milestones and scaling new peaks. Batting, bowling, extraordinary fielding, wicketkeeping, opening, captaincy, he's done it all for his Team.

Countless outstanding innings, countless matches saved, countless records shattered.. A salute to a glorious career completing 15 years today! No matter what people say, no matter what the statistics reflect, he'll remain a legend forever. Commitment, Consistency and Class well personified!

Today, as India take on West Indies in the first of the three Test match series, this man steps into Sabina Park representing his country for a mammoth 150th time. This certainly is his last tour to the Caribbean and most certainly the first of the last few series of an outstanding career. And for Once I'd love to be proven wrong by this man.. till then, Happy 15th! :)
