NEW DELHI, Nov 15: Indian skipper Rahul Dravid's skills of leadership have earned him rich accolades from the legendary Imran Khan, who described him as an "aggressive player with good leadership qualities."

The former Pakistan captain, in a brief chat with the NDTV, said he preferred Dravid as the captain of a combined India-Pakistan team ahead of Inzamam-ul Haq.

Dravid took over as the captain of the Indian team from Sourav Ganguly following the Bengal batsman's spat with coach Greg Chappell in September last year.

Asked why he opted for Dravid ahead of Inzamam as the captain of the hypothetical eleven, Imran said that the Karnataka batsman was definitely more aggressive on the field out of the two. "Dravid is a more aggressive player with good leadership qualities,” he said.—Agencies
