New Delhi, Sep 14: As the cricket fraternity gropes for the exact reason which prompted Rahul Dravid to quit Indian captaincy, the player himself revealed that he was not enjoying leading the side anymore.
Dravid reportedly said,"I enjoyed the captaincy, I loved it, but it can get tough after a while and some of the enjoyment can go away”.
"So I thought it was the right time to step aside," he added.
Dravid took over the captaincy from Sourav Ganguly in October 2005 and he had his share of criticism for some of his decisions, the latest being not enforcing follow-on in the Oval Test against England.
Dravid, who has played 112 tests and scored 9492 runs for an impressive average of 56.50, captained India in 25 Tests, winning eight, drawing 11 and losing 6 matches.
In one-dayers, Dravid captained in 79 matches, winning 42 and losing 33 while four matches ended in no result.
BCCI president Sharad Pawar revealed the Karnataka batsman had expressed his wish to step down during the UK tour.
