Indian cricket player Rahul Dravid retired from international cricket.

On 9 March 2012, Rahul Dravid announced his retirement from Test and first‑class cricket in Bengaluru, ending a 16‑year career.

He had already stepped away from ODIs and T20Is in 2011, and this announcement marked his complete exit from the international stage.

The 39‑year‑old, known as ‘The Wall,’ was the first of India’s legendary trio, alongside VVS Laxman and Sachin Tendulkar, to retire after the 2011‑12 tour of Australia.
