Red signal for Rahul Dravid: will he step down from Cricket?

India has own the first test that was held in Chennai. That is very positive sign for the Indian players in test cricket against England. In the odi series India secured victory 5-0. Bowlers and batsmen moved jointly to acquire the white-wash victory. But, in the in first test, it was totally different. Most of the batsmen crumbled doing nothing. 

The most dependent batsman Rahul Dravid is in the top position in this line-up. Although he was he was ahead just adding 7 runs in the two innings in the first test in Chennai. This promotion has been sent him back in the batting order. He was the batman who used to come to bat in second down but in the second the he will bat in the 7th position. 

What do you think about this change in the playing XI? I think this is red signal for him to step down from the international cricket. By analyzing his previous 11 tests, it will not satisfy any of the fans who loves cricket more. May be his average is just 22-plus. After Sourav Ganguly, this is the time of Rahul Dravid retires from the international cricket.
