truly my favourite ♥

FOR DRAVID,

1) He is the seventh-highest ODI run-getter of all time.

2) He won two more Man-of-the-Match awards than the man born to bat in ODI middle orders, Michael Bevan, albeit Dravid played for longer.

3) He kept wicket in 73 games, scored four centuries in those, and averaged five more in those games than his career tally of 39.

4) Only one Indian has scored an ODI fifty faster than him.

5) He featured in the only two 300-plus partnerships in the history of the game. He is part of three of the seven most prolific combinations for India, and two of the top eight overall.

6) India's success-rate under him, is second only to MS Dhoni's team.

As captain Dravid presided over most of India's fabled streak of 17 wins batting second. Chasing in matches that he captained, Dravid averaged 41.11.


MUCH LOVE.

There were several significant and emotionally, mentally and physically taxing changes in the past one year, some served to teach me new things about myself and others changed my perspective about some of my strongly held beliefs. (so that partially answers why I was turmoiled) I had written a more ruminative post but I have decided to post that later...probably after I edit it a little bit and contemplate if I really do intend to divulge. Also, since it has been a year since I posted something, it's only r...

Did I mention how crazily I ship Prabhas and Anushka. :') {refer to title} Can someone tell me why Prabhas plays the perennial "ideal" dream man? NOT the heroic dude pssht, but the kinda guy you can imagine yourself married to and having a family with. Oh god. Plus he's tall..and has a defined jawline. How cute are they? :'( I definitely need to blog soon about Baahubali.
