Dravid had a brilliant Test record overseas

If you ever need some solidity in your middle order, you have to pick this man. Rahul Dravid was a technically gifted batsman who believed in piercing the gaps more than bludgeoning them to the ropes.

His rock solid defence and brilliant performances in hostile overseas conditions earned him the nickname ‘The Wall’. He was one of those last classical Test batsmen who could bat for days on end just to save the match for his team.

Besides his run scoring abilities, Dravid was a brilliant slip fieldsman. He held on to 210 catches in his entire Test career.

With the willow, he amassed 13,288 runs from 164 games at an average of 52.31. He also scored 36 hundreds and 63 half-centuries, with many coming against the Aussies.
