#2 Most catches in Test cricket
Batsmen and bowlers always get the major attraction in the game of cricket. Fielding performances have always been overlooked. You might not have seen someone winning the Man of the match or the series award for fielding brilliance. It will always be given either for batting or bowling. Rahul Dravid's slip catches played a vital role in India's victories in the Test matches.
He holds the record for taking most catches by a fielder in the Test cricket history which stands at 210. He took 55 catches of Anil Kumble's bowling which is the second most number of catches taken off a particular bowler. Rahul Dravid at slips was an asset for the Indian Test team during his era, especially in the overseas matches. He is also the first cricketer to take 200 catches as a non-wicketkeeper in the Test history.
