Former explosive opening batsman of Australia cricket team Matthew Hayden was seen praising former Indian coach and Rahul Dravid, popularly known as The Wall in the cricket world, at an event. It is worth noting that Dravid and Hayden have been part of some memorable matches between India and Australia.

In a match against Australia at Eden Gardens in 2001, Dravid and VVS Laxman shared a record partnership of 376 runs. Laxman scored a record 281 runs in that match, which was also his career best.

Dravid also supported him and scored 180 runs. Apart from this, both of them had a partnership of 303 runs in a test match held in Adelaide during the year 2003. In that match, Dravid played a brilliant innings of 233 runs and Laxman scored 148 runs.

Matthew Hayden made a big statement about Rahul Dravid

Let us tell you that recently in the CEAT Cricket Rating Awards, Matthew Hayden said about Dravid – By the way, you would definitely like to say something about batting all day with VVS Laxman in that extraordinary partnership.

Hayden further said- Australia had put everything at stake against Rahul under pressure and he played the game with great decency, restraint and a great sense of fairness. In a game that can push you to win at all costs. Rahul Dravid has won on the principles of cricket and the principles of life.

On the other hand, if we give you information about Rahul Dravid, then after Team India’s victory in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, his tenure was over. So now he is going to be seen working as the head coach for one-time champion Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025.
