Deepika Padukone Reveals Her All-Time Favourite Cricketer

The glamour doll Deepika Padukone has revealed her favourite cricketer of all-time. The actress named the wall of the Indian National Cricket Team Rahul Dravid as her all-time favourite cricketer. Deepika Padukone explained the major difference between Rahul Dravid and the rest of the players, which impressed her the most.

Rahul Dravid has always been a gentleman of India. The flamboyant batsman always carries himself in a controlled manner to play the game as fair as possible. He is also one of the few cricketers, who hardly have a hater and never used his so-called celebrity status in public places.

Rahul Dravid is somebody I have admired – Deepika Padukone

Deepika Padukone admired the way Rahul Dravid led his life even after being such a celebrity figure in the country. The leading actress in Bollywood Film Industry further stated that she always like the persons, who have good conduct rather than having great numbers under their belt. She also got a Bengaluru connection with him.

“My all-time favourite cricketer is Rahul Dravid. A lot of my idols are not what they have done in the sport and the game, but how they have conducted themselves outside. For me, he is somebody I have admired and looked up to, and he is from Bangalore.” Deepika Padukone said on Star Sports’ pre-show Nerolac Cricket Live.

Sports are very important in life –

She further emphasised the need for sports in the person’s regular day-to-day life. Besides physical health, Deepika Padukone feels mental health is essential for an individual in the competitive world. She firmly believes that spirit is very important for a player to make things fall in place.

“How much we focus on our physical strength — our mental strength and mental endurance — is equally important, if not more. At times you feel your body is not keeping up with the mind. I think sometimes it’s the mind that takes over — and nurturing that is very important. A young athlete will figure that along the way, but they should pay attention to that — the grit, courage, determination and spirit is important,” said Deepika, on Star Sports’ pre-show Nerolac Cricket Live.
