5 Interesting coincidences between Cheteshwar Pujara and Rahul Dravid

#2 Milestones Similarity

Rahul Dravid started his Test career in 1996 in England and was immensely consistent with the bat throughout his career. Although Pujara had his share of inconsistency in his career, he has scored big whenever it has mattered the most.

While Rahul Dravid scored runs both home and abroad equivalently, Pujara has scored a major share of his career runs in home conditions. His average of 61.87 proves his dominance at home conditions.

However, when it comes to reaching milestones, both the batsmen have been part of three milestones that have coincided. Rahul Dravid reached 3000 Test runs in 67 Innings, 4000 Test runs in 84 Innings and 5000 Test runs in 108 innings. Similarly, Cheteshwar Pujara reached 3000 Test runs in 67 innings, 4000 Test runs in 84 Innings and 5000 Test runs in 108 innings.

Rahul Dravid reached his 6000 runs in his 125th Test inning against Australia in 2003/04 and it would be interesting to see if both the batsmen coincide yet again.
