The man who scored runs all over the world, has a dismal record at his home ground? Yes, it’s true. When we looked deep into his career stats, we found this interesting fact.

Undoubtedly, one of India’s all-time great Test players, Dravid finished his Test career with 13,288 runs at an average of 52.31 - the records often failed to gauge the impact this man had on the Indian Test side.

Inspired by his stupendous batting, India achieved memorable Test match victories overseas. Dravid should always be remembered for the way he approached his batting and how he helped the team’s cause time and time again.

However, the Karnataka boy only managed to score 304 runs in 8 Tests at an average of 21.71, which is very low compared to his standards.

With only two fifties, Rahul surely didn’t seem to like batting on the ground he grew up. It’s an interesting tale for sure.
