Rahul Dravid found an ally in Saurav Ganguly who rubbished claims that the 'Wall' is showing signs of vulnerability.

"Dravid is a great cricketer with lot of maturity. It will be wrong to say that it's over for him," Ganguly told reporters after a practice session at the Eden Gardens today.

Dravid, who fashioned number of wins for India abroad, has 10,366 Test runs under his belt but has managed just two centuries and nine 50s in 48 innings he had played in the last two years.

To further add to his woes, the former India skipper's last five innings read a dismal 11, 11, 0, 3 and 3.

But Ganguly, who retired after the Test series against Australia recently, hopes Dravid will return to form soon.

"One should not judge him on account of a few failures. He is having a temporary loss of form and I am sure he'll come up with a big knock soon to silence his critics," Ganguly said.

The former India captain is currently keeping himself in shape and hopes to play in the Ranji Trophy Plate group semi-final and help Bengal return to the Super League.

Ganguly had earlier expressed his desire to turn up against Vidarbha in the Plate group but since Bengal had already made the semi-finals, he chose to wait for the last-four stage encounter.
