25 Unbelievable facts about Indian cricket

13. Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid got stumped out only once in their career and both of them were dismissed by the same bowler

Somerset v India - Tour Match

Sachin Tendulkar played 329 Test innings while Rahul Dravid played in 286 Test innings throughout their career. However, both these men got stumped out only once amongst all these instances. It was England's left-arm spinner Ashley Giles who accounted for their wickets on both these instances.

There is quite an interesting anecdote associated with Sachin Tendulkar's stumping. It was actually because of former Indian opener Virender Sehwag due to whom Sachin went onto the front foot. Giles was bowling from over the wicket into the rough with a strong leg-side field.

Sehwag convinced Sachin for about 2-3 overs that there wasn't much of turn and persuaded him to go on to the front foot to hit Giles over the top. But, the only time the ball turned was when Sachin went onto the front foot and thus was stumped out.
