Yuvraj Singh pays Rahul Dravid tribute

Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has paid tribute to Rahul Dravid following the batsman's decision to retire from international cricket.

The 39-year-old, who is the second-highest run scorer in Test history, called time on his 16-year career on Friday.

However, Dravid will continue to play Twenty-20 cricket for the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League.

"Legend has walked into the cricketing sunset," Singh tweeted. "Privileged to share the dressing room with Jammy.

"A man with grit, determination and exemplary work ethic. His preparation never dipped, his concentration never wavered. Example for generations to follow. You will be missed Dravid."

'The Wall', a nickname earned for his steely resolve at the crease, scored 95 on his Test debut against England in 1996.
