Bangalore: Sharad Dravid backed his son Rahul's decision to quit Indian cricket team's captaincy, saying he knew what he was doing.
"It is his own decision. Why should one be saddened about it. He knows it, he knows what he is doing," Sharad Dravid, Rahul's father, said when scribes sought his reaction at their Indiranagar residence.
Sharad, who went out for shopping to buy the idol of Lord Ganesh, on his return told waiting reporters "no comments."
Later, he came out to answer few questions for "two minutes", on the advice of the police officials posted there. Sharad said Rahul had not discussed his plans to quit the captaincy with him or any of the family members.
On being asked whether Rahul chose to step down as he was under pressure, Sharad replied "I don't know. I can't say anything on that by any stretch of imagination. I am not a cricketer. He knows it better. He should be in a better position to explain it."
To another query on the whereabouts of his son, he remarked, "maybe he is here (in Bangalore). But not in this house right now."
Rahul might join the family to celebrate the Ganesh festival tomorrow, which, said, "is a big festival for us."
