India's best ODI XI under Sourav Ganguly

4. Rahul Dravid (WK)

Rahul Dravid was the mainstay of the Indian middle order. Dravid made the No. 3 position his own by churning out consistent performances with the bat. India’s ‘Mr Dependable’ was rock solid in the middle overs, and played the anchor’s role to perfection. An accumulator of runs, Dravid became the master at milking singles by piercing the gaps to perfection.

‘Jammy’ was one of the best exponent of cover drive and the square cut. He was an exceptional slip fielder with good reflexes and sharp anticipation ability. Dravid could keep wickets too and donned the keeping gloves often for team India. One of the fittest member of the Indian squad, Rahul donned many hats in the best interest of the team.
