Dravid, Kartik visit Taxila

Rawalpindi: A day after India's victory over Pakistan, vice-captain Rahul Dravid and left-arm spinner Murali Kartik found their own way of unwinding — by visiting the Buddhist monastery in Taxila.

The two ventured out of their hotel rooms to the Buddhist pilgrimage centre, located about 40 kms from Islamabad, in the afternoon while most of their team-mates preferred to confine themselves to the comfort of the hotel.

Dravid and Kartik took the necessary permission from the team management before going out on the sight-seeing trip. Security arrangements were made for the two as they drove down to Taxila in the afternoon.
