21st century, Indian cricket, Lord's Honours Board

#4 Rahul Dravid (103*, Date- 21/07/'11)

The picture says it all

The ICC Hall of Famer 2018 is one of the most respected cricketers in the history of the game. Well-regarded for his outstanding batting technique, cricketing IQ, and sportsmanship, Rahul Dravid is one of the finest batsmen ever to grace the game.

Dravid made his Test debut at Lord's in 1996 and scored 95 runs. Over the years, he played some great knocks in England which include centuries at Trent Bridge, Headingley, double ton at the Oval and so on but his Lord's century drought ended in 2011 when the fine crowd at the Lord's witnessed one of the finest batting performances by the cricket legend.

On a difficult pitch in the 1st Test match of India's 2011 tour, "The Wall" read the game exceptionally well and showed the world how to tackle seaming pitches with finesse. Where his fellow batsmen failed to deliver, he scored a splendid century in India's 1st innings, much to the delight of the Indian fans and cricket lovers at the Lord's who gave him a standing ovation for his excellent performance. It was Rahul's final Test appearance at the Lord's.
