Rahul Dravid: The Wall that stood tall in all conditions

Struggle in the limited overs format and comeback

Dravid struggled in ODIs early in his career

Dravid continued his good run in Tests but failed to replicate the same form in the limited overs format. He found himself in and out of the side due to his slow scoring rate.

By 1997, Dravid was already branded a Test specialist since he scored heavily in the longest format. But his style of play did not suit ODI cricket. By 1998, he had only scored 1709 ODI runs at a strike rate of 63.48.

Dravid, though, continued to work on his ODI game and the changes started to show.
