[b]NEW DELHI:[/b] The BCCI has decided to recommend the former India captain Rahul Dravid and opener Gautam Gambhir for the Padma Bhusan and Padma Shri awards respectively.

"Dravid and Gambhir's names were discussed earlier and president and secretary were to take a final call in this regard. The last date for filing nominations was August 15 and the names have been sent" a BCCI official reportedly told a news agency.

Dravid was also in reckoning for the Rajiv Khel Ratna, but the only cricketer in the panel - Ravi Shastri - was not present during the meeting to push for the Banglorean's case. Shastri later said he did not get an invitation to the meeting.

Padma Bhusan is country's third highest civilian honour, after Bharat Ratna and Padma Vibhusan. Sachin Tendulkar is the only cricketer to receive the second highest civilian honour in Padma Vibhusan while nine cricketers including Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Vinoo Mankad and Lala Amarnath have received Padma Bhusan.

Rahul Dravid,Or The Wall no matter from which name you call this man you gotta agree that he’s the most solid batsmen cricket have ever seen,he may not thrash six sixes in a over like yuvraj or make a double century in One Day Internationals,he’s comes when you need the runs,when you need a man to stand off,he’s there and always will be,he’s down to earth attitude got him many praises in the cricketing world so here’s a list of my favorite quotes on Rahul Dravid
“Time and tide wait for nobody,except Rahul Dravid” - [b]MTV India[/b]
“If a martian were to land on earth now and be told that the best batsman in the world was playing in this match, he would think it was Rahul Dravid and not Sachin Tendulkar.”
[b]Christopher Martin-Jenkins[/b]
‘Rahul is the kind of person who young cricketers can look up to; not only because of his success but also because of the way he conducts himself. His remarkable career is proof that nice guys don’t finish last.
I am aware that many people see Rahul and me as similar cricketers, I am flattered because it’s good to be compared to a guy who has an average of over 57!.It’s only now that people are recognising that Dravid has probably played more critical knocks than his great contemporaries’.——-[b]Steve Waugh[/b]
Playing a hundred Tests requires less time these days. Ten years ago only 16 players had got that far, there have been 20 since. And there are five others poised to join Rahul Dravid on that list. They are all special players, as Dravid is a special player. Only two batsmen in that list average less than 40. And only three more than 55, And nobody in that list averages more than Rahul Dravid. It is a staggering achievement for a lovely young man.
I remember talking to Rahul Dravid once and I said “What was the best way to beat Australia?”
And he said the best way to do it is to, in a sense, play to their arrogance.
Because once they are arrogant they will self-destruct and the only team that can beat Australia today in world cricket is Australia.
Truely “The Wall “—-[b]Harsha Bhogle[/b]
“Dravid is A Player Who Will Walk On Broken Glass If His Team Wants Him To”—-[b]Navjot Singh Sidhu[/b]
“Everyone praises Sachin Tendulkar. He may be a genius in his own right but in my book, Rahul Dravid is the artist. Dravid’s defence tactics, his strokes, his cuts, his grace are truly amazing. I’d like to meet the chap sometime and take my hat off to him.”
[b]Peter O’ Toole[/b]
“Team in trouble? Whom do you turn to? Rahul Dravid!”
[b]Ian Chappell[/b]
‘Nothing can beat experience’ -[b]Brad Hogg[/b] (After Rahul Dravid hit that beautiful six over long on against DD)
‘All this going around is not aggression. If you want to see aggression on cricket field, look into Rahul Dravid’s eyes’ - [b] Matthew Hayden [/b]
“Ask any bowler and he will tell you that all the greats will give you a half chance early in their innings, except Dravid,” - [b]Gaurav Kapur[/b]
“The people back home deserve a fighting team” - By The Man Himself
