Third Test - New Zealand v India: Day 3
Rahul Dravid about to pull one

The greatest Indian run scorer against New Zealand is Rahul Dravid, who literally feasted on their attack for most of his career and maintained an average 52.76 across formats (Tests and ODIs) over a span of 13 years. Dravid's career as a batsman really kick-started after the tour of New Zealand in 1999, when he scored two Test centuries and an ODI century.

During the course of his career, he went on to score four more Test centuries and one more ODI century, in addition to 11 half centuries that made him one of the most prolific Indian batsmen against the Kiwis. His highest score against New Zealand in Tests is 222, while the highest ODI score is 153.

However, Dravid made sure that he tormented the Kiwis till the end and in what proved to be his last innings against them, he scored 191 in the Nagpur Test in 2010.
