Tendulkar still holds grudge against Dravid. He mentioned that in his book and revealed the same in front of everyone during the unveiling (ceremony/interviews) of the his book. The declaration was done in right spirit upholding team first and above individual milestones. We all know Tendulkar cares so much for his personal records. We have often seen how players slow down in pursuit of personal milestones pushing team victory opportunities aside. It was very prevalent then. Unfortunately, we saw ll see thst to some extent (ODI CWC2023) In this particular test match, Tendulkar was stuck in 180-190s forever. The frustration in the dressing room was very palpable. I, as a cricket fan, was so frustrated by the slowness (by Tendulkar). We had to declare our innings and invite Pakistan to bat after tea, and give enough time to our bowlers to take their 20 wickets. Dravid’s decision was correct!!

Still remember how glued I was to the TV screen just to see my hero achieve that milestone and how excited I was just to see my team's score sheet reading both triple century and a double century in a same inning..... Thanks for this video, you've earned yourself a new subscription

shame on u sachin....how can u come in open and defending yourselves. if i were you, would hv hidden myself in corner. RAHUL dravid did correct to declare. Hatts off to u Rahul not seeing who is playing. u knew after 1 hr we r going to declare . so u hv to play fast. score as many run as possible. u r saying 4 runs per over avg is good in test cricket. ok but not when u r safe and going to declare in 1 hr. u hv to score 8 runs plus per over becz ur team is in safe. this is the basic. u played very slow becz u dont want to get out and keep career average high ( the inning does not count in avg if u dont get out). Shame on you. ONE MORE INCIDENT where U FALL IN MY EYES. Test match in SA in which we required 125 plus with tail enders.. U were playing with UDIKANT last man, U took a single on 2nd ball and gave strike to Udikant to face SA lighting speed pacer DYEL STYEN and others. Udikant somehow survived in that over but then again u repeated the same for 3, 4 times by taking single 1st or 2nd ball and giving udikant to face the SA pacers. Atlast, he got out and u remain not out. As per rule, innings doesnt count in carrer avg. This is the way u kept on increasing avg. For those who don't hv cricketing knowledge they will not notice this but cricket knowldege people like me know immediately. I know chasing 125 runs with last 5 man is not easy but one batsman keep on trying to win by playing shot in first 4 balls and taking single on 5th or 6th ball. This is what cricket says. in above 2 incidents, u fell in my eyes. Graham smith was also not haapy with sachin approch for not saving test. bleacherreport.com/articles/549103-of-graeme-smith-sachin-tendulkar-and-a-gentlemans-game See how westindies last wicket pair chase 64 runs against pakistan eventhough they r bowlers. "West Indian pair Deryck Murray and Andy Roberts holds the record for the highest tenth wicket stand in a successful ODI chase. The pair did the impossible against Pakistan in the 1975 World Cup encounter in Birmingham. The Asian side batted first and managed 266/7 in their allotted 60 overs. The eventual champions West Indies found themselves in a big spot of bother at 203/9 and a Pakistan win looked evitable. But Murray and Roberts had other ideas as they stitched an unbeaten 64-run stand for the last wicket to seal the game with just two balls to spare. The former struck 61* off 76 with six fours while Roberts contributed with 24* off 48."
