Dravid, player of the week

Rahul Dravid, for his consistent performances in the three one-day internationals against New Zealand during the weekJanuary 8-14, has been chosen as the BPL Player of the Week.

Only one player, Australia's opening bat and wicket-keeper Adam Gilchrist could come close to be considered for the award. Gilchrist scored an attacking 131 in his side's win over Sri Lanka. However, Dravid's scores of 123 n.o., 38 and 68 against New Zealand tilted the scales in his favour. Dravid will be presented an equivalent of US $ 500.
