Cricket legend Rahul Dravid just uploaded a video to his Facebook page, chronicling how his journey started almost 25 years ago.
The animated video, which has Dravid narrating, describes how he got his first chance to play Ranji Trophy cricket.
He describes how the team had to use their kits for seats, when they crammed into trains between matches, and learnt the rigours of the games from the team seniors.
He also apologises profusely to his roommates at the time, who had to keep up his odd hours of practice.
And finally, he talks about how he captained Karnataka to Ranji Trophy glory, which led to his much-awaited call-up to India's national team.
