\"\u201cTimelessMumbai<\/strong>: Legendary cricketer Rahul Dravid<\/a>, together with Sanjay Manjrekar and Harsha Bhogle today launched a collection of stories about Dravid\u2019s amazing playing and Test career in Mumbai.
Titled \u201cTimeless Steel\u201d, the 256-page book portrays a cricketer who embodies the finest tradition and values of the game, and a human being who impressed the numerous people he came in contact with during his amazing cricketing journey. Rahul Dravid was the lynchpin of India\u2019s Test batting through the 2000s, combining technical virtuosity with legendary work ethic.\u00a0 He epitomized an old-school guts-before-glory approach in an age increasingly defined by flashy stroke play and low attention spans.<\/p>\n

\u201cDisney Publishing has a long tradition of telling great stories and it is a pleasure to be launching this book on Rahul Dravid, together with ESPNcricinfo. \u201cTimeless Steel\u201d, is a celebration of a truly gifted cricketer and an Indian legend of sport,\u201d said Roshini Bakshi, managing director, Consumer Products, Publishing and Retail, Disney UTV. \u201cAt Disney, we are always excited to bring such amazing content that is locally relevant, truly loved by our fans and something that transcends across ages,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love reading books, especially books on sports other than cricket,\u201d said Dravid. \u201cI found it helped me gain a good understanding of the mindset of other athletes,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cRahul Dravid is that rarest combination in sports: a champion athlete and a gem of a man. Timeless Steel is as much a tribute to the cricketer who underpinned Indian cricket\u2019s golden age as to the man who brought dignity and grace to the game. Cricket is the most literary of sports and this book, ESPNcricinfo\u2019s second in as many years, reinforces our commitment to showcase the best cricket literature,\u201d said Sambit Bal, Editor, ESPNcricinfo and Author of Timeless Steel.<\/p>\n

Backed with eye-catching photographs that reflect the man and the cricketer, \u201cTimeless Steel\u201d features many contributions. Ed Smith, who once shared a dressing room with Dravid, describes the gentleman that Rahul is while Greg Chappell remembers the India captain that he worked with. Sanjay Bangar relives the splendor of Headingley 2002 while Mukul Kesavan analyses how Dravid\u2019s techniques allows for more style than one might assume. Sidharth Monga scrutinizes Dravid\u2019s captaincy while Rohit Brijnath looks back at the twin peaks of Adelaide 2003. Adding sheen to this book is Vijeeta Dravid\u2019s close-up account of her perfectionist husband.<\/p>\n
