A bulk of Dravid's record 210 catches in Test cricket came off the bowling of two of India's best bowlers - Harbhajan Singh and Anil Kumble.

Kumble might have been more famous for his bowled and LBW prowess, but a majority of his wickets did come off catches. In all, Dravid took 55 catches off Kumble's bowling over a period of 12 years.

Fielding close to the bat when Kumble was bowling could not have been the easiest of tasks, but Dravid often made it look effortless.
