#3 Rahul Dravid
Nicknamed 'The Wall', very few players did justice to their name the way Rahul Dravid did during his career. He was Mr. Dependable for Team India and someone who rose to the occasion when his team needed him the most.
Think back to the famous comeback victory over Australia at Eden Gardens and the Adelaide Test victory, Dravid left his imprint with his gutsy knocks and earned the respect of his teammates and opponents alike with his humble nature.
There looked a time when Dravid would be forever considered as a Test specialist but he silenced his critics with his determination, cementing a spot in the ODI and even made his mark in T20 cricket with his exploits in the IPL.
He was true epitome of the Gentleman nature of the game as his selfless nature put unlike his contemporaries and still he achieved so much.- a true testament to his abilities as a player, especially at the No 3 spot.
Dravid is the only player apart from Sangakkara to score more than 10000 runs in Test cricket batting at the No 3 spot, while the constant change in his batting position for the sake of the team meant that his ODI run tally from the same spot was restricted to just 4000 runs.
Nevertheless, there is no doubt that he is one of the greatest No 3 batsman ever in the history of the game.
