Rahul Dravid chooses his shots carefully.
Dravid also chooses his words in similar manner.
So it is not surprising that when some of the Sourav Ganguly News Service Men tried to seek explanation for captain’s new agenda, Dravid has firmly stuck to his guns.
Team India captain Rahul Dravid said his comments to a cricket magazine were not aimed at anyone in particular (read Sourav Ganguly) but "a general principle to be followed in anygroup".
"I had no specific players in mind when I made the comment, it is a general principle that can be applied to any group, even a corporate organisation," Dravid said.
"At this level being motivated and giving your best to a team is a given. In a squad there are a whole lot of guys who are hungry to do well and a couple others not motivated can bring the wholesquad down.
"I want to say that at this level I shouldn't need to motivate anyone. If I'm needing to motivate an international cricketer then there's something wrong actually. The challenge is to not de-motivate anyone."
He went on to say that one could not invest too much time in motivating a bunch of players as that would affect the rest of the team in a negative way.
"If you're going to be spending time in the team always having to cajole and look after a few people in the team, you're doing a disservice to the rest because you're wasting and investing too much time and energy in a few people who're taking away from the group," he put it bluntly.
"Players need to understand that they need to give energy to the unit. There are times of course when you're not doing well, and your form's not good and you'll need the support of other people. But most of the time you've got to give to the team and make sacrifices to the team and give back to the team."
Well, Dravid’s comments must surely be a dampener to those who expect Indian captain to baby-sit Sourav Ganguly during the Pakistan tour.
