One of the most significant tons I have scored

Breathing easy after a career-reviving ton, Rahul Dravid on Saturday said that the century he scored against England here would rank among the most significant knocks of his career.

"It’s a quite significant knock, considering the form I was in coming into the match. It’s one of the most significant hundreds I scored and I now just hope we go on to win this match," a visibly relieved Dravid told reporters here.

Dravid snapped the long string of poor shows with a knock of 136 and the right-hander said he felt relieved to get a huge monkey off his back.

"I’m definitely relieved and it’s nice to be contributing again. It has been a tough year for me, nothing has been easy. It’s nice to make important contributions," said the former captain who ran into a bad patch soon after the home series against South Africa.

True to his nature, Dravid’s was a muted celebration as he just raised the bat and shook hands with Gautam Gambhir.
