5 areas where Rahul Dravid proved superior to Sachin Tendulkar

#3. More Centuries in England

Rahul Dravid's record in England easily surpasses that of Tendulkar

England is possibly, the most difficult place to visit for batsmen from other countries. Yes, Australia seemed more intimidating when their team was dominating world cricket, but that was due to the superiority of their bowling attack. Otherwise, Australia can be a good place for batting as well.

England, on the other hand, with its swing and seam-friendly conditions, presents a much tougher challenge very often. Both Sachin and Dravid excelled in England despite these difficulties. The ‘Little Master’ scored his maiden Test ton in England and went on to score three more along with many half-centuries.

But when it comes to centuries scored in England, ‘The Wall’ is ahead of Tendulkar, that too, having played fewer matches. Tendulkar scored four hundreds in England in 17 matches while his illustrious teammate has six from just 13 games.

This speaks volumes about Dravid's brilliant technique as well as longevity. He led the way in the 2002 series by scoring hundreds in three consecutive Tests. Nine years later, he repeated the feat of scoring three tons in a series in England when he emerged as the lone fighter during India’s embarrassing 0-4 whitewash.

In an interview to the BBC, Dravid said that he enjoyed playing in England because he felt comfortable in the country. As a result, while Tendulkar clearly has a much better record in Australia where Dravid struggled at times, in England, the latter is the boss.
