' It would be nicely to end with a win,' says Dravid.

"The great wall" of Indian cricket team and former skipper of the national team,has told that he would like to end  his one-day international career on winning in Cardiff on Friday.

Dravid acknowledged the appreciation he had earned in his 15-year long career, and said that a win would be special.

"I think that I have got enough respect and enough recognition for what I've done, and to be honest, I'd like to end off with a win. It would be lovely for India, and you know we've had a tough tour," he said.

"It would be lovely to finish with a win. Irrespective of what I get, it will be great if we can finish off with a win tomorrow and I hope that we'll play some of the best cricket," he added.

"I thought we played some very good cricket at Lord's the other day and some terrific performances, just that, unfortunately, we couldn't get over the line. But hopefully, we can do that tomorrow," Dravid said.

Dravid said that his long career spanning over 300 games has made him a versatile player, one who could captain or keep wickets, and bat at different positions.

Known for his temperament as a Test batsman, he said that playing one-dayers had helped him to strengthen his technique in the longer format of the game.

Dravid said that India's tour of England has been disappointing and the sense of defeat would remain in spite of the accolades he received personally for his batting.

"Obviously, the Test series was bittersweet. You know, there was a lot of satisfaction of playing against a tough attack and scoring runs, but obviously, it's been a disappointing tour for us, so that sense will always remain. But yeah, I'm fully humbled by some of the, you know, some of the nice things, good things that have been said about me over the last few weeks," he added.

Dravid also said that monitoring one's fitness and approaching the game with a sense of enthusiasm and discipline was the key to a long career.

Widely touted as one of India's greatest ever Test batsman, Dravid stood out as the lone success story in India's 4-0 Test series loss to England, aggregating 461 runs with three centuries at an average of nearly 77 that won him praise from all quarters.

Finally Dravid is a great player in the Indian cricket team. After leaving cricket career Indian team will loss a great player from there team.
