Dravid's biography in Kannada released
BANGALORE, JULY 11. The Kannada translation of Rahul Dravid's biography — Karnatakada Kanmani, Rahul Dravid — was released at the Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Sunday morning. Venkatesh Prasad, who released the book, termed Dravid as a `silent assassin' for displaying a calm and cool approach while bailing out the team from various testing moments.
Chandramouli Kanavi translated the book, authored by journalist Vedam Jaishankar, into Kannada. Both Venkatesh Prasad and Rahul Dravid lauded Kanavi for his skill and patience in translating the original. Dravid said that he will try and live up to the expectations of the cricket-loving public and that all the adulation he gained over the years was a `deeply humbling experience.'
The KSCA President K.M. Ramprasad, Assistant Secretary Sudhakar Rao and Dravid's English Professor from St. Joseph's College, G.K. Govind Rao, also graced the function.
