The former Indian right-handed batsman is one of the greatest test cricketers of all time. He is one of the most technically complete players the world has ever seen. In 164 Test matches, he has scored 13288 runs at an average of 52.31 along with 36 centuries.

The 43-year-old cricketer has also flourished in the IPL. He has scored 2174 runs in 89 matches at an impressive average of 28.23 and with a strike-rate of 115.51. He even opened the innings in the IPL and played the role of a sheet-anchor.

Known as “The Wall”, Dravid has always been the most reliable batsman the Indian team has ever produced and India has produced several legendary batsmen over the years. His success in the T20 tournament is another proof that Test players can play T20s.
