Rahul Dravid became an immediate superstar for India when he scored a crucial 95 in his debut Test match against England at Lords in the year 1996. Rahul, as a Test batsman, improved gradually and mastered the art of batting. He is certainly one of the best 'Test-match' players to have ever played the game. He earned the title of 'The Wall' because of his solidity and he was a nightmare for the bowlers in the longest format of the game.

Rahul, with his splendid stroke-play and rock-solid defensive technique, gathered over 13000 Test runs at an average of 52.31. Dravid was equally adept in the shorter format of the game. His ability to rotate the strike made him a vital asset in the Indian middle order. He played 344 One-Day Internationals for India, giving numerous match-winning performances and scoring 10889 runs at a stunning average of 39.17.
