Rahul Dravid has always believed in maintaining a low profile and is very reserved as a person. He never really got the due credit as he was always overshadowed by the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly. Even then, the former India captain keeps on doing his thing without worrying too much about external factors.

Rahul Dravid further said that he communicates with people over the mobile phone. He also said that recently he had felt the need to be active as there are a lot of interesting articles and people you can follow on coaching, management and fitness which is related to the work he does.

So, he has been reading some articles online but he really doesn’t get on with it. Rahul Dravid revealed that he has some random account through which he reads stuff from these accounts but that is just recent. He added that he hasn't done it so he doesn’t have a good answer.
