Rahul Dravid has given Rs 35,000 to a team that made a favorable pitch for both sides during the first Test between India and New Zealand.
The first Test against New Zealand ended in a draw in Kanpur yesterday.
In this regard, the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association said in a statement, “We are releasing an official announcement. Rahul Dravid has given Rs 35,000 from his own money. ”
After losing the first Test against England in Chennai, Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri were the ones who moved the ball from the first ball for the next 3 Tests and finished the match in 3 days.
But before the Kanpur Test, groundsman Shivkumar said he had not received any instruction from the team to have a pitch like this.
It is in this context that Rahul Dravid has given Rs 35,000 to Shivkumar’s chief groundsmen team to make a sporting pitch.
It has to be said that Dravid, known as the Gentleman, has once again proved it by his actions.
