‘The Wall’ Rahul Dravid was always known for his grit, determination and concentration. He could bat and do so for hours together. He kept himself very fit. He was one of the best slip fielders and had the ability to move swiftly, show quick reflexes when required.

He played 94 consecutive Test matches (93 for India and 1 for World XI) since his debut in 1996 and missed a Test in December 2005 due to gastroenteritis. He also broke his jaw in 2010 while batting against Bangladesh in a Test match as he was hit by a Shadat Hossain bouncer, but other than these two occasions, Dravid never missed a Test match for India owing to injury.
