The 'Wall' lends balance to any Test side

Any Test team without Rahul Dravid is not an ideal team. Rahul Dravid is undoubtedly one of the best Test cricketers of all time and with him in your team, your side will be balanced. Rahul Dravid has played the majority of his career batting at number 3 in Test cricket. However, he is the kind of batsman who is comfortable with batting at any position that the team wants him to.

Mr. Dependable Rahul Dravid has scored over 13,000 runs in Test cricket in just 164 matches at an average of over 52. Many times, he held on to his wicket in case of a collapse and helped India reach a respectable total. Rahul Dravid has scored over 2100 runs against Australia in Test cricket in just 32 matches and has 2 centuries and 13 half centuries against them. He would have made it to the great Australian Team in no time. According to Glenn McGrath,” If there was one Indian player who could get a direct entry into the famous Australian team of the late 90s, it would be Rahul Dravid.”

Mark Waugh and Damien Maryn mostly batted at number 4 for Australia till 2006 and Rahul Dravid is undoubtedly the better option for Australia. The player played the major part of his career batting at 3 for India, but he has played close to 20 matches batting at 4 and has an average of over 60 so he could be an ideal fit.
