BANGALORE: Rahul Dravid may not have garnered the popularity some of the other players managed to get in the world, but he is certainly one of the most consistent and successful players of all time. Nicknamed ‘The Wall’, he was known for his mental fortitude and even keeled emotions during stressful situations, as much as for his cricketing skill.

Many qualities that made Dravid an excellent batsman are shared by successful investors who believe in incorporating the champion’s skills to build wealth. Scripbox.com has compiled a list of his winning traits:

Be patient

In stressful situations, Dravid has played the long game. When the opposing team has excellent fielders, he stands at the crease hitting ones and twos, rarely attempting flashy sixers which if misshot can cost the player a wicket. This strategy has helped him lead Team India to victory time and again.

Investors, too, face the challenge of unstable markets. Follow Dravid’s example and invest at least a part of your capital into securities that will likely rise in the long term. While the gains in the short term can be sharp, so can the losses, and over time, the scores on the board will not have moved.
