2. Rahul Dravid – The Oval

Dravid cracked a double century at the Oval

During his memorable career, Rahul Dravid established himself one of the most iconic figures in the history of Indian cricket. Dravid amassed more than 13,000 runs in the 164 Tests that he played and is the second highest Indian run-scorer of all time.

The legendary batsman boasts of a phenomenal record in overseas conditions, especially in England. Among the several English grounds where Dravid displayed his brilliance, the Oval is right on top as he scored 443 runs at the venue at a tremendous average of 110.75.

In his very first innings at the ground, Rahul Dravid hit an epic 217 in a drawn Test match against hosts England. Dravid also scored an unbeaten century in his last Test at the Oval.
