#3 MS Dhoni - 5
Mahendra Singh Dhoni will go down as the greatest wicket-keeper batsman produced by India in Test cricket. The former skipper played 144 innings for India in Tests, and was dismissed in the nineties on 5 occasions.
His whirlwind 224 against Australia in Chennai in 2013 will go down as the greatest knock played by an Indian wicketkeeper in Test match cricket.
Innings: 144 Runs: 4876 Average: 38.09 Nineties: 5
#2 Rahul Dravid - 10
Rahul Dravid will go down as the greatest batsman produced by India in the last three decades, on par with the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. Nicknamed ‘The Wall’, Dravid was blessed with impeccable powers of concentration and his defence was almost unbreachable.
He is the second-highest run-scorer (13288) and second-highest century-maker (36) for India in Tests after Tendulkar. Dravid featured in 286 innings for India and was dismissed in the nervous nineties 10 times in his career.
Innings: 286 Runs: 13288 Average: 52.31 Nineties: 10
