5 worst defeats for Rahul Dravid in ODIs

#1 Against Bangladesh – 2007 (World Cup)

Bangladesh players rejoice after taking Rahul Dravid's wicket.

The game against Bangladesh in the 2007 World Cup was undoubtedly one of the worst defeats for Dravid in his career. India entered the mega event as one of the favourites. With Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Bermuda in their group, India were expected to qualify for the next round without any problems.

However, Bangladesh left India stunned in their opening game of the tournament. Batting first, India were skittled out for just 191. Sourav Ganguly top scored with 66 (in 129 balls). Yuvraj Singh was the other significant contributor (he made 47). Apart from these two, none of the other batsmen stood up as the ‘Men in Blue’ folded up for a below par score.

Chasing a modest total, Bangladesh were off to a solid start as Tamim Iqbal stroked his way to a 53-ball 51. Even though Bangladesh were made to work hard for every run, they were always ahead and scampered past the target in the 49th over to cause one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history. Shakib Al Hasan (53) and Mushfiqur Rahim (56*) consolidated on the solid start as they guided their team to a memorable win.
